Understanding more about Religious Hypocrisy
Hi Faith-writers, I thank God once again for allowing me the opportunity to share HIS Word with HIS people so we can continue to understand what we need to do to be in the perfect will of God. We are going to continue on the topic of Hypocrisy, as Jesus taught it, with a clearly more practical approach we need to avoid any Religious Hypocrisy when it comes to our walk of Faith in Christ Jesus.
Religious Hypocrisy shuts the Door to the Kingdom of God
When Jesus began to explain to the Scribes and Pharisees why they were Hypocrites. Jesus did not only bash them with Truth about their Hypocrisy, but clarified why and in what area were they Hypocritical. That’s why it’s important for Ministers and young students of the Bible to carefully read and learn the Master’s approach to correcting Religious air-heads. We must be wise in winning souls—even Religious souls to the Kingdom of God, as Jesus did.
Jesus said, but woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. (Matthew 23:13 ESV)
Religion will not teach us how to enter the kingdom of God. Let this fact and Truth penetrate your mind and sink deep down into your heart. How do we enter the Kingdom of God? Jesus was the only one who taught us how to enter the kingdom of God (Heaven) in (John chapter 3:1-21 NKJV). We must be Born-again to enter the Kingdom of God—Jesus explained to the Pharisee Nicodemus (and all of us.)
To understand more about the Born-again topic I invite you to read the Born-again experience parts 1-4 that the Lord had me teach in June and July of 2011, on this site. That way it can help you learn how to share this topic with others.
In order for us to enter deeply into the Kingdom of God in a greater measure, or the next level, or dimension we must humble ourselves as a little child Jesus said (Matthew 18:1-3 ESV) In other words, we must have child-like faith when it comes to learning Scripture. We must accept the Word of God as it came right out of the mouth of Jesus—although the Apostles wrote the New Testament. Then can we enter deeper into the Kingdom of God.
Remember, there are different Measures, levels and Dimensions in the Kingdom of God that we can enter as we grow in the Lord.
Religious Hypocrisy Here and Now
Today, like in Jesus’ time on earth, we still have Religious Hypocrisy in the area of the Biblical topic of being Born-again. Not many Ministers today are teaching this topic—even the famous Preachers on TV. Very rarely would they even mention the term Born-again. Why is that? I strongly don’t think their seminary school has that doctrine down pact. Or if they did not attend Bible College (like me), I don’t think they really came to revelation of the importance of this topic and how we as Ministers should study it—in order to teach it to others.
Jesus said, for you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in (Matthew 23:13b ESV). I believe many Ministers have been Born-again, but they don’t know how to explain it as Jesus did to Nicodemus. If we carefully study John chapter 3, and ask THE TEACHER the Holy Spirit to reveal this topic to us HE will unleash Divine Revelation to us to be able to share it as Jesus did. That’s how I ended up sharing this teaching years ago. We must allow others to enter the Kingdom of God. We block the Door when we fail to do our job by not ensuring a sound presentation of the Born-again topic.
The Apostle Paul and John taught more on the Born-again topic in their letters. (See, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/ Ephesians 2:1-10/ 1 John 3:7-9 NKJV) If they went to great lengths to teach about the Born-again experience, how much more should we teach God’s people how to enter the kingdom of God?!
My Prayer is that everyone will catch a revelation of the importance of this topic of being Born-again and to wisely ask God the Father to reveal this to you personally, so you may open the Door of Faith for people to enter the Kingdom of God, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
