VIII. MAIN BODY:

Matthew 15:8 (Amplified Bible)

These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me.

These are what hypocrites are best known for. Inconsistency with mouth and heart.

That's why when anyone comes to the LORD to become a believer, the LORD will fix his heart and mouth and make it consistent.

Romans 10:9-10 (Amplified Bible)

Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.

A. Unbelievers honor JESUS with mouth and lips

"These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips,"

Isaiah 29:13 (Amplified Bible)

And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning],

Ezekiel 33:31 (Amplified Bible)

And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as My people, and they hear the words you say, but they will not do them; for with their mouths they show much love, but their hearts go after and are set on their [idolatrous greed for] gain.

John 1:47 (Amplified Bible)

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said concerning him, See! Here is an Israelite indeed [a true descendant of Jacob], in whom there is no guile nor deceit nor falsehood nor duplicity!

1 Peter 3:10 (Amplified Bible)

For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not] keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit).

B. Unbelievers's hearts are far from JESUS

"but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me"

Proverbs 23:26 (Amplified Bible)

My son, give me your heart and let your eyes observe and delight in my ways,

Jeremiah 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit. You are near in their mouths but far from their hearts.

Acts 8:21 (Amplified Bible)

You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is all wrong in God’s sight [it is not straightforward or right or true before God].

Psalms 78:37 (Amplified Bible)

For their hearts were not right or sincere with Him, neither were they faithful and steadfast to His covenant.

Hebrews 3:12 (Amplified Bible)

[Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.

The most difficult person to help and save are those person who never thought they need saving, because they thought they're good enough. Make a clear picture of who you really are in GOD's sight and ask His forgiveness.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are constantly motivating me to bring You sacrifice of praises through the fruit of my lips that acknowledges, confesses and glorify Your Name.
