Renowned theologian Stephen Charnock says that sincerity is the mark of a Christian. Unless we are sincere with God, ourselves, family and others we cannot help ourselves but are headed down the hill...
The opposite of sincerity is hypocrisy. When we lack sincerity to look deep into our hearts, we are deemed to reflect hypocrisy in everything. In relationships, at work, our speech, actions, attitude and service. All our Christian outwardness will be masked by a 'big hypocritical self' which God knows. And as the Word of God says that we are accountable to Him for what we are...
Hebrews 4:13 (New Living Translation)
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
May we be people who are sincere to God, ourselves and others. Otherwise we cannot consider ourselves as a human being with perfect consciousness.
