LOVE WITHOUT HYPOCRISY
Romans 12.9
9. "Let love be without hypocrisy, abhor what is evil, cling to what is good."
This is the most important subject of all, because Love is the dominant quality and also combination and holder of all goodness of the Spiritual qualities of GOD. Without Love for GOD and His Law, for His Sacrifice and for everything He has created it is impossible to worship and serve GOD, be forgiven and be saved. Love is the driving force of all Spiritual qualities and their goodness and without Love it is impossible to please GOD and have Hope, Faith, Mercy, Righteousness and holiness before GOD.
There is no Love there is no Hope and there is no Hope there is no GOD, because only in GOD we Hope. Love is the requirement to be a person of GOD, because GOD is Love, and Love only accepts another Love, it is two-way road and there is no one-way in Love.
Hypocrisy kills not only Love, Hypocrisy kills every good Spiritual quality in human beings and leaves nothing to hold to. Hypocrites are the empty vessel which are when empty quickly fills itself with deceit, lies, and all sorts of evil. Hypocrisy kills the soul of a human being, and while a person still alive but soul is dead. Without Love and Spirituality but full of hypocrisy a human being just a walking zombie.
If any plant, tree, or animal, or a human being that the Lord GOD created does not serve its purpose, it will be destroyed and perish. Devil is not only a "father of lies" (John 8.44) he is also a true Hypocrite and have only purpose in his existence to deceive and destroy people by his lies. So, those who are Hypocrites certainly are servants of Devil who consumes souls of unaware people, of naive and narrow-minded, and even Christians who have little knowledge and understanding of the Bible and cannot resist the temptation and lure of Hypocrites.
ARROGANCE AND PRIDE
Romans 12.16
16. Be of the same mind toward one another, do not be haughty in mind but associate with the lowly (forgotten, poor, outcasts). Do not be wise in your own estimation. (Proverbs 3.7) (Isaiah 5.21) (Romans 12.16).
Many warnings are issued in the Bible concerning Arrogance and Pride, and this is also one of many good examples by which Apostle Paul warning us about, to be more modest in our own estimation and not exalt ourselves in our own eyes. You may be wise in your own eyes but on the other side complete fool in the eyes of the Lord. So, do not put yourself above others, because people also can see your own foolishness but would not tell you about it, and you will be a walking fool without even knowing it.
Just like GOD teach modesty, humbleness, and submission, Paul also teaches here to affiliate better with the "lowly" (KSB), which means with modest, reserve, humble, and meek people, just like Jesus Christ Himself did. So, if you are call yourself a Christian so, you should be the image of Christ and like Christ in everything.
