How could I reword this thesis to make it more effective?

Question

"In God's eyes, charity is the standard of human actions, and leads to peace and love."

Answer 1

In my opinion, the first three words should be omitted. (We don't know what's in God's eyes.)

Also -- since "is" is weak -- how about changing it to "sets?"

Charity sets the standard for human actions and leads to peace and love. Also note that there should not be a comma after actions.
