Truth Number 5 for the Christian Walk
No matter how much I desire to please God, I will mess up--sin. That does not make me a hypocrite. A hypocrite is someone who applies the truth to everyone else but himself. He may even do a lot of the right things, but always for the wrong reason--spiritual pride. In reality the real hypocrites are those who sit around criticizing Christians who are struggling to become what God wants them to be. No struggle is more difficult. Hypocrites are the ones too afraid or rebellious to allow God to mold them into His likeness. They live only for the applause of men. Don't let them label you as a hypocrite. They are wrong. What you are is a growing Christian--and God is delighted with you.
