Luke 12:1-3; 1 Corinthians 4:5 - There Are No Permanent Secrets

Zane Hodges Library

There probably isn’t a person who doesn’t have a few secrets that he wishes could remain buried forever. Even if you have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ for the free gift of everlasting life and are a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, the fact is that there are no permanent secrets. Hypocrisy does not pay, for every secret thing and every secret word will someday be revealed. Even Christians can fall into the trap of hypocrisy, where we are more concerned about what others think of us than we are concerned about what we really are in the sight of God. Forgiving our sins is not the same as keeping those sins a secret. In the future world there will be no hypocrisy. For Christians, all secrets will be revealed when we stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Other passages mentioned: 2 Kings 11:14; 2 Samuel 11:1-12:13.
