Fake it until you make it, right? Not according to Jesus. He calls us not

to practice our righteousness in front of others in Matthew 6:1-18. He

tells us we shouldn't give, pray, or fast if we are just doing it impress

people. That's fake faith. Fake faith gives to get noticed, performs

prayers for people, and sacrifices to appear spiritual. In the end, fake

faith doesn't hold up. Jesus didn't die on the cross to impress people;

He died on the cross to reconcile us to God. Practice real faith by doing

everything for God, focusing solely on Him.
