DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE

In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Luke 12:1




This is the biblical definition of a hypocrite, "someone whose words and heart  (actions) do not agree. "A hypocrite may act the part of a Christian or talk like Christ, but he or she will not do both. Hypocrisy is often said to be doing something even though you do not want to or feel like doing it. It is true that God demands that our motives and reasons for doing things must be right, but this does not mean that we always want you to or delighted in doing it. To do what God wants you to do, or to do unto others what you. Would want. Them to do unto you, is not hypocrisy Matthew 7:12. Even if you do not feel like doing it.
It is hypocrisy only when your motive for doing it is wrong and you are genuinely seeking the welfare and benefit of others. Remeber, Jesus did not feel like going to the cross, but He went anyway to seek the welfare and benefit of the world.



Agape love is described as the, love that can be known only from the actions it prompts. This is not the love of complacency or affection, that is' it was not drawn out by any excellency in its obects Roman 5:8. Christian love agape, whwther exercised towards the brethern or
towards others generally, is not an impulse from feelings. It does not always run with the natural inclinations. It Agape seeks the welfare of all Romans 15:2 and works no ill to any Romans 13:8-10. Agape seeks opportunity to do good ao all men....Let God's love flow through us today.



Beloved God is waiting for you to enjoy what is rightfully yours. Your possession given to you by the Heavenly Father. There is power in the God you serve. Rest assured that He is waiting for you to change to Him.
