Good action, without knowledge of God, is imperfect, why?

Question

My Master and also your Master (if you accept Him) makes emphasis that man should have faith in God to perform perfectly good actions.

"...when a person performs a good action, although it is praiseworthy, if it is not caused by the love and knowledge of God, it is imperfect. Moreover, if you reflect justly, you will see that these good actions of other men who do not know God are also fundamentally caused by the teachings of God -- that is to say, that the former Prophets led men to perform these actions, explained their beauty to them, and declared their splendid effects; then these teachings were diffused among men and reached them successively, one after the other, and turned their hearts toward these perfections. When men saw that these actions were considered beautiful, and became the cause of joy and happiness for mankind, they conformed to them."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 304)

I wish to know your opinions about doing good in obedience to the One True God.

Answer 1

I love it, and i want my name to be written in the book of life, you speak very well of the heart that motivates .

Answer 2

no disrespect
but either way you are saying that any action is from God knowingly or not

do you know that people are capable of doing good acts through their own thoughts and love and compassion
people do have a sense of responsibility and ethics
people can and do act without knowing God and without God working through them
and any actions are perfect if done from the goodness of someones heart

Answer 3

Doing good is commendable but no amount of good works will lead to salvation.

Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Answer 4

Because God is there, whether you know it or not.
