How does God respond to hypocrisy among His people?
Answered in 1 source
God lovingly rebukes His people to correct their ways and lead them back to the truth.
God's response to hypocrisy is one of loving correction, as seen in His dealings with Peter through Paul. Despite Peter's status as an apostle, he was publicly rebuked to maintain the integrity of the gospel. Hebrews 12:5-6 encourages believers not to take God's rebuke lightly, as it is a sign of His love and a means to guide them into righteousness. This instance serves as a reminder that God desires His children to walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel and that His corrective measures, although challenging to endure, ultimately lead to growth and alignment with His purposes.
