Hypocrisy is pretense. God wants his followers to be honest and just, without hypocrisy. The hypocrite hides his faults to appear "very holy." This is wrong. We need to acknowledge our mistakes in order to receive forgiveness and mend our lives.

Hypocrisy is injustice. The hypocrite judges the mistakes of others but ignores his own. In so doing, the hypocrite judges and condemns himself! His own words pick him up.

Hypocrisy is also saying that you follow God but not obeying his commandments. We often say that we have surrendered everything to God when in fact there is still much that we have not submitted to him. But God always forgives those who repent of their hypocrisy.

how happy is that

to whom the Lord does not lay blame

and in whom there is no hypocrisy! While I kept my sins hidden,

my body was wasting away from so much moaning. For day and night

your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was running out

like in dry weather. So I acknowledged before you my sin

and I did not cover up my faults.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions,"

to the Lord,

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Matthew 7:3-5
