How do we know that religious showboating is wrong?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus directly condemns the practice of outward displays of piety, warning that such actions reflect hypocrisy rather than true faith.

In Matthew 6, Jesus denounces religious showboating, stating that those who seek to gain glory from men for their good deeds have already received their reward. By highlighting this behavior, He emphasizes that true righteousness comes from the heart and is not demonstrated through public displays for validation. Instead, the Lord advocates for actions taken in secret, assured that God will reward those who practice their faith away from the eyes of others. This warning reveals the underlying danger of making religion a spectacle rather than a sincere expression of faith.
