Bible Study & Devotional 195

Guiding Scripture: Romans 2:1, 'You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.'

šŸ”“Self-Deception

Written by Torrie Slaughter

Failing to practice what we preach is a controversial topic. According to a research article on cognitive science in Frontiers Psychology, self-deception can allow people to hold a preferred belief, regardless of the truth."

The Apostle Paul makes the Jewish community face their hypocrisy. Just as he did with the Gentiles in Romans 1, his goal is to impact change. The transformation process begins with acknowledging the errors.

Romans 3:9, "What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin."

More often than not, we are guilty of the same offenses we accuse others. That is the 'excusable' nature of self-deception. To know we've committed the same crime(sin) but hold our brothers and sisters to a different scale.

The pretentious nature of our faith walk is in vain if one cannot repent of their hypocrisy.
