Other imitations of things can trick us. When we are actually just going through routines, religious language, music, and artifacts might deceive us into thinking that we are having a personal relationship with God.
Many Israelites were simply going through the motions at the time of the prophet Isaiah. Because of this, God instructed Israel to stop offering pointless sacrifices and to stop using incense, saying that "Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates" (Is. 1:13–14).
The risk of religious deception inspires introspection on one's own life. Our religious rituals might only be hollow imitations of the genuine, sincere faith that the Lord seeks.
A hypocrite has the world in his heart and God in his words. The Lord above is grieved by the prevalent sin of deception; He longs for those who will worship Him in faith, truth, and love.
