Just what are the thoughts of our inner being, our spirit. No one knows the thoughts of a man except his own spirit within him and the Spirit of God. We can hide our thoughts from others quite easily, and get away with it. Yet God sees through ALL things; we cannot fool Him. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.
The Lord Jesus knows everything there is to know about us. We may give an outward appearance of godliness or wear a mask well, but we do not fool Him. A religious spirit is despised by the Lord. It is better to come under the scrutiny of the Spirit and have our true condition exposed by Him now, than to wait for that day to hear the words "depart from Me". What a woeful day that will be.
To have an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus and doing the will of the Father are the issues of the heart. Being merely religious, will not get one into the kingdom of heaven, nor will doing good deeds to appease one's conscience suffice. I pray this will stir us and cause us to examine our hearts to see if we are holding to THE FAITH.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
