Message
According to Wikipedia, hypocrisy is the practice of feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not. This means hypocrisy is claiming to be what you are not and merely put on false appearances of virtues. This reality is common among church goers today. Many youths who go to church assemblies today are not sincere about the Christian faith because they want to belong Jesus and Satan at the same time. They appear outwardly holy, but can commit secret sins and cover them up. You cannot serve God and Mammon at the same.
Christ sternly rebuked religious people for their hypocrisy during His earthly ministry. The warning against hypocrisy is still very strong. Hypocrisy will definitely attract God’s judgment if not repented of. It leads to loss of trust, respect and honour before God and man. Are you living a life of hypocrisy? Repent today! God hates hypocrisy. To be free, come to Christ today. He still forgives and sets free from every form of sin, including hypocrisy.
