Good post. Thanks, Nyer.
I have one question though. The article says this:
“Secondly, he means good actions performed by willpower, without any particular help from God.”
Does not all good come from God?

Yes, all that is good comes from God, but is what we see someone doing actually good. The old lady who gives cookies to the local children is not necessarily doing good. She might be inwardly reveling in the admiration and feelings she receives from the children and parents, massaging her pride in how well the neighborhood loves her. Isn't that good? Not in God's eyes.
