Not the genuine article.( Luke 8 v17)

There was a song that was very popular years ago,written and sung and by Conway Twitty 'Here is part of it, 'People  see us everywhere,they think you really care.But myself I can't deceive,I know it's only make  believe'.We can easily fool people by the appearance we put on ,that doesn't tell the real story.An  extreme  example of that was Judas Iscariot nearly everyone thought he was a true follower of Jesus,even His friend  but he wasn't,but we have to add he didn't fool Jesus (John  13 v 21) Many thought Hitler was the answer to their countries problems ,he pretended to be,in the end he was'nt. King David lamented over a supposed friend he trusted who turned against him (Psalm 42v 9)There are many who put on a religious front, but  that's all it is,in some ways they are only pretending.they are not genuine. There are  many people who  tell their wives or their husbands how much they love them,yet are involved in adulterous affairs.Their are fathers who appear to outsiders to be a wonderful parent,yet he is abusing one of his children.Likewise there are husbands who appear to everyone as being a wonderful husband ,yet he is extremly abusive to his wife.Judas paid dearly for what he did,the word of God says be sure your sin will find you out,nothing is hidden from an all knowing an all seeing God,one day that veil of pretense will be torn away by God who is holy, on that day there will be no escape,from His judgement,Hell beckons,make no mistake about it,repent before it's to late,its your only hope,call upon Christ to save you.
