Further, those guidelines were given as an assessment tool for those who claim to be Christians. They weren't intended as a measurement for sinners to see if they really qualify as Christians by their good works.

Religion teaches, you will benefit if you benefit G-d, so people ARE doing things for their own benefit. You reap what you sow.
