There is nothing God hates more than pretending to love, therefore the Lord hates Hypocrites. Not every (Mat. 7.21.) one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into Heaven, but he that doth the Will of my Father which is in Heaven. As God saith: This People (Deut. 5.29,) have well said in all that they have spoken; O that there were such a Heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my Commandments always. So I say of Professors, and great Pretenders, that show much kindness with their Mouth, but their Heart is not right with God. O that there were such a Heart in them, that they would make Conscience to do the Will of God.

If the Lord loved the young man, that was in a fair way of keeping the Commandments of God, and was not perfect and thoroughpaced; how much more will he have a Love for them that have a respect to all the Commandments of God? Psal, 119.6.
