ὑπόκρισις – Hypocrite
ὑπόκρισις
ὑπόκρισις. What's that? Hmm that don't look like English does it. Actually, that's a Greek root word that we need to talk about so let's translate that word into modern English. ὑπόκρισις is Hypocrisy.
For the longest time I lived as a Hypocrite. I'd make the effort to portray a Christian on Sunday mornings and talking to people I knew in Church. My life in my home wasn't Christian. Behind closed doors I'd look at pornography and lust after those things . My eyes wasn't only focused on my wife. When I went to work I tried to keep on the outside of "those types" of conversations. But sometimes I would bust in being funny in attempt to stay in the game. Nobody I worked with knew my Christian side just hints of it. I live as a Hypocrite on both sides. As time drew on I fell away from Christ and into the world. I was just another one of the guys doing everything my coworkers and friends did.
When my wife and I went through some difficult times God pulled us through and I thought I was really doing what God wanted then. But no I was still a Hypocrite but a righteous one. I began living a life just like every other Christian. Church as much as I could and started cleaning up my life to their standards. I still fell to sin because I didn't understand Christ in plain truth.
This website is a map on pathway to finding God's truth for us. The more and more I've read and researched the more I can see that I am still a Hypocrite. I can't stand myself to be seen this way.
I am 4 people.
One to my wife and family.
One to my friends and coworkers.
One to my Church.
One to my God.
No more. In the end all these things will fall away except for one. God. I have to live a transparent life. When God sees me standing in front of my wife. When God sees me standing in front of my parents. When God sees me standing in front of my children. When God sees me standing in front of my friends, coworkers, neighbors, strangers, enemies, and all alone. When God sees me standing at the gate of Heaven. I want that person to be the exact same person every moment that God seen me.
We all need to make this same commitment to live a transparent life and not as Hypocrites any longer. I know I've said a lot and tried to guide people to move in Christ way. What I've said isn't wrong it's all truth backed by Christ, I just wasn't living it myself. It is a learning process and I've found another big step to take for myself. From now on when people, no matter who, will not see anyone but the Christ in me.
Walk with me to fight against the lies that try to bind us. A new day comes and the Son rises now!
