HYPOCRISY

Hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another, it is like talking the talk and not walking the walk. It is being a big fat liar, and no liar will inherit the kingdom of heaven. i am running into more and more "Christians" now-a-days that say they love God, say they know him, but to watch them they look, act, and speak in the flesh, just like the world God hates. i am talking about the body of believers here, not the lost.

How could God make it any clearer than by giving us His Word and His Holy Spirit? Why do people who say they love God resist and rebel against developing a relationship with Him? Why is it so hard to set that alarm clock 15 minutes earlier to spend time with the one you love more than life itself? Why can't people who say they love God cry out to Him? Fear Him? Not displease HIm? Why?

It is hypocrisy to say you know God, to say you love God and not read your Word, pray, and do what God says... "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron." 1 Timothy 4:1-2

It is hypocrisy to say you know and love God, then look like, act like and love the things of the world. It makes you a liar. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world." 1 JOhn 2:15-16

"He that saith i know him, and keepeth not his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him....He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk even as he walked." 1 John 2:4, 6

What is the deal?

The bride of Christ, kings and priests, saints, sons and daughters of a holy God, what greater honor is there than this? Why don't we act like it? All this worldly junk will pass away, the relationships, the stuff, all of it. We are here for such a short time, an eye-blink in this vapour of life. There is no greater joy than to serve God every moment of every day and know it will last for eternity. i cannot tell you what unshakeable peace that brings, what depth of joy it reveals to a heart that truly knows God, that abides in him. To know each day is in His hands, in his control and we do not have to worry or fear for anything. True freedom, amen. Because to know God and His Son Jesus (John 17:3) is truly eternal life right now. Each day walking in the Holy Spirit and seeing my life with God's eyes and doing his will in my life. Trusting Him and in faith, knowing without a shadow of a doubt, i am his. i pray that more Christians get it, that they crack open the word, get on their knees and follow Christ into eternity before it is too late..
