Good day to those reading this❤️ i would like to share something i learned from a youtube channel called impact video ministries. A Christian can be a hypocrite, worshipping God, praying, studying the Bible but still holding onto grudges, putting aside their Faith and Truth from the Bible for other tecahings, being selfish and not wanting to let go of their sin. Yes people like Peter and David sinned but still repented, but others sin and never repent, menaing they turn from their sin amd change their minds. It's not that true believers never sin but always get back up. So, here are ten signs someone is a fake Christian. 1, they are greedy and selfish, prioritizing their needs over others. 2 seek attention from others or doing good deeds so poeple could notice them. 3 have empty words when their hearts are far from God even though they prasie Him. 4 they can decieve, influencing others and misrepresent Christ. 5 practice sin without repentance not wanting to leave their sin. 6 Hate other Christians even when they know that Christ forgave them so they should forgive others. 7 Dont obey God even if they like the idea of obeying but dont when it costs them
. 8 neglect whats important like how pharisees focus on tithing or giving instead of justice and mercy and faithfulness that could look like trying to win arguments. 9 mix other religions with Christianity to follow false doctrines and deceptive teachings, only one road leads to Heaven. 10 they dont focus on the Gospel, but conform to the worldy beliefs around us, not only to the true Gospel. But do not look at these signs just so we could call them out in other people, but to repent when these signs start to surface in us and try to recognize these signs by praying to God, inviting God to search us and examine ourselves and ask help from God. And remember, Jesus loves you, God bless.🙏🕊❤️‍🩹❤️

John 13:34 NASB2020
[34] I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Romans 12:2 NASB2020
[2] And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Matthew 15:8 NASB2020
[8] ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.

I would offer that possibly they are new Christians or Christians God is doing a special work through. Maybe they're still struggling as they adjust to their new identity. I prefer to believe that everyone is doing the best they can where they are and with what they have. Sending blessings to you. 🙏🏼

Bible Verse for this Prayer

2 Corinthians 13:5

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?
