       Contention three: All people who go to church are hypocrites. They don’t practice what their Bible tells them. It’s sad, but you hear people say this from time to time. People just don’t want to go to church, or be part of a church, because they feel that Christians are hypocrites. Romans 3:23 and 24 state: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (ESV). We, as Christians, are defined by who we are in Christ, not by our actions or performances in life. It is true that we should be trying to follow everything God has said to be true in his Word to the best of our ability, though, we should not be legalistic about it. We should have a right ‘heart’ attitude in following God. None of us perfectly follows everything God has said to be true in his Word, or even perfectly follows everything he or she proclaims. I’m not trying to discourage anyone, but we will all slip up every here and there.
