while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, “But and went his way.” Jesus taught that there would be the mingling of the true and false together until the end of the age. The tares are not saved but they look like the wheat (the true saints). Therefore, one way an apostate or unbeliever masks his apostasy is through deception. Matthew 7:21-23 is another case in point: every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of “Not heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Some people think that their outward spiritual activity and actions will give them a ticket into the Kingdom and eternity with Christ. But they are dead wrong. The cloak of false spirituality and play acting does not save anyone. You can look good on the outside but be lost and going to hell. be a Don’t fake! Jesus said that a person must do will of my (Matt. 7:21). This “the Father” speaks of allowing God to genuinely rule in heart and life which one’s becomes a living proof and validation of salvation. True Christians one’s to play out the game of false spirituality; they live it out true don’t continue spiritualty and genuinely demonstrate by their attitudes and obedience that they are truly born again. Here is the point. Some people look like a Christian, talk like a Christian, do things like a Christian, and profess to be a Christian, but they have never been born again (John 3:3). Eventually their true nature comes out. Either they will be exposed in this life or the next life. Tares among the wheat and doing what appears to be spiritually good things, while being spiritually dirty on the inside and lost is a very real deception that is associated with the apostate or the one that has never embraced the truth. Deception is a very real part of the apostate and all apostasy.
