HYPOCRITE Part 2
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
Titus 2:11-12 For the Grace of God that brings Salvation has appeared to all men (is available to all on the basis of Faith in Christ and what He did at the Cross), 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts (tells us that it can be done), we should live soberly, Righteously, and Godly, in this present world (this can only be done by the Believer making the Cross the Object of his Faith, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work in our lives, bringing about these Graces);
James 3:18 And the Fruit of Righteousness is sown in Peace of them who make Peace (presents the Law of sowing and reaping).
James 4:8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. (Once again and ever so, this is done only by Faith which ever makes the Cross its Object.) Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. (Without a proper knowledge of the Cross regarding the Sanctification of the Saint, it is impossible for the Believer to live a Victorious, Christian life.)
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another (refers to being quick to admit fault, if such be the case), and pray one for another, that you may be healed. (The Holy Spirit, through James, broadens the aspect of prayer for the sick as applicable to any Believer.) The effectual fervent prayer of a Righteous man avails much (from any “Righteous man,” Preacher or otherwise; “Righteousness” pertains to the fact that the Faith of the individual is strictly in Christ and the Cross, and not in other things).
The next time that you say, "Thou shall not Judge", remember that, when you make your Judgment about what you are going to wear for each day, that you live. Running around naked, you will get arrested.
