Matthew 23:26 You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too.
Praise God. Brethren Jesus criticizes the religious leaders because the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees were the official interpreters of the law of Moses.
The Pharisees and teachers of the law then and some the ones we have today are the same, the ones today have gone wild with boldness to do evil and defend it with proves that they are right, (proverbs 14:12).
Beloved, Christ warned us about these people they are clean outwardly but dirty inwardly. “Matthew 23:25 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence”.
For we know if our outer being is evil then our inner being is evil too no two ways about it, most of the Christian today will say if my pastor, teacher, general overseer or prophet is doing this let me do it, please beloved not all they do is acceptable by God. Bear in mind that there is a punishment awaiting a deceivers and evil doers
So the great concern of all men should be, inward purity; that their hearts be purified by faith in the blood of Christ, and sprinkled from an evil conscience by the same; that principles of grace and holiness be formed in them by the Spirit of God; and then their outward lives and conversations being influenced thereby, will be honourable and agreeable to their professions. Otherwise, an external reformation, or an outward show of holiness, and bearing pretensions to it, without internal grace and purity, will never be of any avail in the sight of God.
Beware!
G🌥️🌥️D M🌥️RNING and happy new month. Shalom.
