However, Scripture also acknowledges that not all who claim to seek God do so with pure intentions. The wicked, at times, may pretend to seek God, using religious language and actions as a facade to mask their true motives.<br><br><b>Biblical Instances and Descriptions</b><br><br>1. <b>Hypocrisy in Worship</b>: The Bible frequently addresses the issue of hypocrisy, where individuals outwardly perform religious duties but lack true devotion. In <a href="/isaiah/29-13.htm">Isaiah 29:13</a> , the Lord says, "These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me, and their worship of Me is but rules taught by men." This verse highlights the disconnect between external religious expressions and internal sincerity, a characteristic of those who pretend to seek God.<br><br>2. <b>False Prophets and Deceivers</b>: The wicked may also pretend to seek God by assuming roles of spiritual leadership or prophecy, yet their intentions are deceitful. In <a href="/jeremiah/23-16.htm">Jeremiah 23:16</a> , the Lord warns, "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD." Such individuals may claim divine insight or guidance, but their ultimate aim is self-serving.<br><br>3. <b>Pharisaical Pretense</b>: In the New Testament, Jesus frequently confronts the Pharisees for their outward displays of piety that mask inner corruption. In <a href="/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27-28</a> , Jesus declares, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." This rebuke underscores the danger of religious pretense.<br><br>4. <b>Self-Serving Motives</b>: The wicked may also pretend to seek God for personal gain, using religion as a means to achieve power, wealth, or influence. In <a href="/acts/8-18.htm">Acts 8:18-21</a> , Simon the Sorcerer offers money to the apostles to receive the Holy Spirit's power, revealing his ulterior motives. Peter responds, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The pretense of seeking God by the wicked serves as a cautionary tale within the biblical text. It underscores the importance of sincerity and authenticity in one's relationship with God. The Scriptures consistently call for a heart that genuinely seeks after God, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/51-17.htm">Psalm 51:17</a> , "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise."<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Considerations</b><br><br>From a moral and ethical standpoint, the pretense of seeking God is condemned as a form of deceit and hypocrisy. It is a violation of the command to love God with all one's heart, soul, and mind (<a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37</a>). The Bible encourages believers to examine their motives and ensure that their pursuit of God is marked by integrity and truthfulness.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers, the awareness of the wicked's pretense in seeking God serves as a reminder to cultivate a genuine and heartfelt relationship with the Lord. It calls for introspection and a commitment to authenticity in worship, prayer, and daily living. The pursuit of God should be characterized by humility, repentance, and a sincere desire to align one's life with His will.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/ezra/4-2.htm">Ezra 4:2</a></span><br>Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said to them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as you do; and we do sacrifice to him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up here.<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/isaiah/58-2.htm">Isaiah 58:2</a></span><br>Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/newcomb/a_practical_directory_for_young_christian_females/letter_vi_temptation.htm"><span class="l">Letter vi.
