Not everyone who claims to follow Christ truly belongs to Him. Counterfeit Christianity emphasizes outward appearances while neglecting genuine repentance, holiness, and obedience to God’s Word. The sugar-coated Gospel has given birth to fake Christians who invent their own way of worshipping God. Jesus desires disciples who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Let us examine ourselves to ensure that our faith is real and founded upon Christ. Scriptural Readings for the Day Matthew 15:8-9 (KJV) “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Titus 1:16 (KJV) “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” 2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV) “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” Prayer Heavenly Father, let my faith be genuine and my heart be fully devoted to You. Help me to follow Jesus in truth and holiness every day. Amen.
