Ditch Mental Assent and switch from make-believer to Bible believer

A man who claimed to have godly faith asked Christ,

What lack I yet? Holy Bible, Mtt. 19:20b KJV

The truth was he had mental assent, not real faith. His reaction to Christ’s reply proves it. Discover how to avoid falling into the same trap.

What Is Mental Assent?

Mental assent is a subtle form of self-deception, just one step removed from the demonic leaven (yeast) of hypocrisy.

Christ emphatically warned:

Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Lk. 12:1b KJV

To see a picture of Love on the boil read Matthew 23; the whole chapter is devoted to Christ railing against hypocrites. Read it once and your ears will burn. Then read it again realizing The Judge is speaking in perfect love. Worship Him, be thankful He’s put away your sins, and rest assured that He will judge your enemies in righteousness. Your job is to love and point them to Him.
