Christ is our master and without learning from Him we can only lead others into the pit. This happens when we do not practice what we preach and we do not live out what we profess. A double standard life is inauthentic Christianity and that is hypocrisy.
Thus, living in union with God is what gives us the authority to teach. Living in union with God offers us peace of mind and the joy of heart.
