You cannot be a hypocrite and Follow Christ
Sin is an infection. Like a cancer that grows fast and out of control. Believing Christ can take away
your sins. Stops and cleans you out. You can chose to stop! ( Remission of sins) All sin is a choice that
you can refuse to do! You can Live in freedom!
If you are still in sin, you cannot call someone out on theirs: EX: A man or woman that is in
lust(pornography, Fornication, etc) you cannot call someone out until you stop your own sin and let
it go for God.( apply this to any and all sin) then after that help out the person, DO NOT BE A
hypocrite.
Christ Rejected Pride and Stubbornness
Matthew 23; John 8:43–47
He opposed:
• hypocrisy
• arrogance
• pride
• traditions replacing truth (Matthew 15:6–9)
You can Live the truth as well and be free
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
\[9\]Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
\[10\]Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
\[11\]And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
When you are washed of this, that's simply means you no longer do it. And he is taken it from you
So if you are in fornication or lust, but then tell a homosexual, they are wrong. No, you need to be clean first before coming to your neighbor about their sin
Matthew 7:1-5
\[1\]Judge not, that ye be not judged.
\[2\]For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
\[3\]And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
\[4\]Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
\[5\]Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
I will give on how repentance works on how the lord taught me
Repentance:
Is from the Heart, if you lied to someone you love. The Guilt eats at your Heart( if you love them) and
you feel sorrow and sadness and anger building up from the heart.
You then confess either to the Person you wronged or God. And admit the wrong you did and for
Love you want to change and let go.
Ex: Have you seen a people who were drug addicts or alcoholics, who for love of someone children,
spouse, anyone. And let go of that sin for someone or something. And never Go back to it.
\- Put all your love into God.
Repentance (continued)
If you love someone and you realized that you hurt them( like a sin against God)
You admit you wronged God( sin)
God is the God of truth so you must admit that you wronged Him and why.
You then from the sorrow in your heart(repentance)
You say in your heart i don't want to do that again to Hurt God( forsake)
And ask God to Forgive you so that you don't have to do that again
Christ died that our sins may be in remission and cleaned so that we may know our Father
The Son will free you!
John 8:23-36
\[23\]And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
\[24\]I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
\[25\]Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
\[26\]I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
\[27\]They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
\[28\]Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
\[29\]And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
\[30\]As he spake these words, many believed on him.
\[31\]Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
\[32\]And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
\[33\]They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
\[34\]Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
\[35\]And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
\[36\]If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
How to be saved?
Believing that Christ can take away your sins (save you from your sins). If you had a knife in your side
labeled lust (and all other sins like homosexuality, lying, pride, etc.), believing that Christ can take
that knife from you. He will pull it out and ask you, 'Do you believe I can?' and you will never have to
feel it again because He has taken it from you
