Matthew Stuckey here and I want to make a quick video on three hypocrisies of
unsaved Christians. Three hypocrisies of unsaved Christians. Now when I say
unsaved Christians I'm referring to people that would claim to be Christian
but are not actually saved and I want to go through three hypocrisies of unsaved
Christians. Hypocrisy number one of unsaved Christians is they say you have
to live a good life in order to go to heaven. You either have to live a good
life in order to receive salvation or you have to live a good life to keep
your salvation or if you're really saved you're gonna do good works and that's
the proof of your salvation. You say why is that a hypocrisy? What's a hypocrisy?
Because people that say this, people that teach this, people that believe this very
rarely actually live very good lives. Most of these people that say that don't
read the Bible, they don't pray, they don't memorize the Bible, they watch
every movie that everybody else in the world watches, they listen to all the
same music that everybody in the world listens to, they don't go soul winning
and so if they're gonna say you have to live a good life in order to be saved or
you have to have good works as proof of your salvation, my question is where are
your good works? And then if you were to ask them that they would say well you're
just arrogant and it's just like you're the one saying that you have to do good
works as proof of your salvation and yet you're not living that separated of a
life. I mean you go soul winning sometimes and you run into people that
are unsaved Christians and they're literally you know smoking a cigarette
or drinking a beer while you're preaching the gospel to them. Now look
everybody's a sinner, we understand that for all of sin and come short of the
glory of God. I'm not sitting here claiming that I'm perfect or that I have
no sin and I'm not saying smoking a cigarette is the worst sin in the world.
I'm just saying though that it's very hypocritical to sit here and say you've
got to live a good life when they're not actually living that separated of a life
from worldliness but they're just like every single other person and so the
other thing about this is that even if somebody's not living a very good life
it doesn't really matter how sinful they are they just still assume that they're
going to heaven. Somebody you know if there's an unsaved Christian and they
have a family member or someone who was you know a member of the church but
living a very wicked lifestyle and then they die well they automatically assume
that this person went to heaven even though they had no good works and it's
just complete hypocrisy so they say you have to live a good life to be saved or
it's the proof of your salvation or that's what you must do to keep your
salvation and yet they completely give a free pass to anybody no matter how many
good works they actually do. Another hypocrisy of unsaved Christians is the
attitude that you must be humble in order to get to heaven. So unsaved
Christians will say that you have to be humble to get to heaven and one thing
they'll accuse people of that are soul winners or zealous Bible believers is
they'll say that well you're arrogant you're always quoting the Bible you're
always saying that certain things are wrong and certain things are sinful and
they claim to be really humble and yet it brings to mind the story of the
Pharisee and the publican from Luke chapter 18 and the Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself God I thank thee that I'm not as other men are
extortioners unjust adulterers or even as this publican and then he talks about
all the great works that he did and if you're trusting your works to get to
heaven that's literally who you are you are the Pharisee that's looking at other
people and saying well I'm a good person and other people are not good people so
it's the exact opposite of being humble so they would say well to be be saved
you got to be a humble person and yet they're just like the Pharisee in Luke
chapter 18 they're not actually humble at all so number one you know the
hypocrisy of unsaved Christians is they say you have to live a good life to be
saved or to keep your salvation or as proof of your salvation and yet whether
or not somebody lives a good life they just automatically assume pretty much
that everybody goes to heaven as long as they say the name Christ they'll say
that well you got to be a humble person and yet as they're trusting in their
works there's nothing more arrogant and they're completely denying the blood of
Jesus whether they realize that or not and you know hypocrisy number three is
that they'll say well you know before you before you die you must ask for
repentance you must repent of your sins or you must ask for forgiveness if you
committed some bad sin and they'll say well you know what if you don't ask for
forgiveness then you know you'll lose your salvation you talk to people out
soul-winning and you know they'll say well you got to repent of your sins
otherwise you know God won't forgive you and you lose your salvation and then you
go through an example and you say well what if they don't ask for forgiveness
what if they don't repent of their sin what if somebody commits a bad sin and
you know they either don't have time to ask for forgiveness or they just choose
not to and then what they usually say is well you know I'm sure God would forgive
them anyway so so what does it even matter you know to say that you have to
ask for forgiveness after you commit these sins because logically speaking
you know you're probably going to commit a sin before you die without having time
to ask for forgiveness the Bible says the thought of foolishness is sin and so
very few people are actually gonna be able to ask for forgiveness right before
they die without committing another sin and so when you ask unsaved Christians
about this well what if somebody didn't get a chance or what if somebody died in
their sleep after having committed some sort of sin and didn't ask for
forgiveness and they say it's required to ask for forgiveness and they'll say
well you know they're there they'll just go to heaven anyway and so you know what
we see from this these three hypocrisies of unsaved Christians is that you know
the majority of people out there are obviously not saved but the majority of
people out there they haven't even really thought through the things that
they actually believe they're kind of taught something growing up and there's
so many logical fallacies with the things that they believe and they don't
even realize that and here's the thing I was the exact same way before I was
saved I got saved when I was in college and you know before that I just kind of
thought that as long as someone was trying to do what was right and you know
whether they were good or bad they'd go to heaven and then I was completely
negating the blood of Jesus Christ and the necessity that Jesus died for our
sins and I didn't even realize it I didn't think through it and you know I
prayed pretty regularly and I was trying to do what was right I really wanted to
serve God even though I didn't really know what that meant but I just hadn't
thought through these things so the reality is that with these unsaved
Christians what they need is the gospel of Jesus Christ to understand that
salvation is truly a free gift it's eternal life it's not of works lest any
man should boast and it can never be lost unfortunately if you run into
unsaved Christians that are very dogmatic about what they believe and
they are very arrogant and don't even have just a shred of humbleness inside
of them unfortunately they're probably not gonna listen to you but hopefully
what you do is run into some unsaved Christians who have just not really
thought through this just kind of like I was before I was saved anyways thank you
and God bless
