1 Peter 5.5 - 6 Honest Humility or Hardened Hypocrisy?

Christians are saved sinners. Turning from sin and trusting the Savior starts our saving experience that will be gloriously completed when we see Him. Until then we bear the remnants of sin in our fallen flesh. Every day we need fresh forgiveness and filling of the Holy Spirit. Sadly, some Christ-followers hinder this process by closing their hearts, resisting God’s Spirit, ignoring His Word, and forsaking fellowship. Only God knows if they’re really saved, but at this stage they are hardened in hypocrisy. God got small, and they got way to big! I am ashamed to say this is my struggle too. Instead of hardened hypocrisy, Jesus invites us to keep walking with Him in honest humility. Only He has saved us. And only He can keep on saving us. Salvation begins and ends by grace (un-derserved, free, wonderful) so He gets all the glory!
