What is hypocrisy?

The term is often used by many without a clear understanding of its meaning. As stated in Mark 7:6-7, hypocrisy is essentially pretending to be something one is not and has no intention of being. Jesus labeled the Pharisees hypocrites because their worship was driven by ulterior motives such as profit, appearance, and status rather than love for God. Hypocrisy manifests when we focus more on our reputation than our character, follow religious practices without genuine heart commitment, and judge others' sins more harshly than our own virtues, according to Prophet Benjamin Ministries.
