If the love and saving truth of Christ is within you, then people will see it by the love, grace and mercy you show other people.
If you are only pretending to be a follower of Christ, then people will see that as well in your actions.
If you value money more than people, hold aloft the things of the world while dismissing the tenets of the faith you claim, feel it is permissible to be rude or cruel rather than kind, or you feel you have the right to look down on others....then, my friend, you need to evaluate your faith. For such behaviors do not spring forth from the everlasting well that is Christ, but from somewhere else.
Make sure your life, your words, your views are truly in alignment with Christ; that you are the wheat instead of the tares. For unrepentant Pharisees, whether ancient or modern, will have a very hard time making it into the Kingdom of God.
