What does false repentance look like?

Paul Carrington explains in this video that false repentance exists when people are merely looking to find an “easy fix” to change some aspect of their life but whose affections and whose heart has not been changed. They do not truly love Christ.

Before long, you will see that they have not truly repented for their sin. They may attend church or recite verses, but their heart has not been changed and they do not want to part with their sins. 

James 1:23-25 (NKJV) – “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”

False Repentance looks like a man who maybe has turned over a new leaf, perhaps religiously or morally. He's perhaps seen Christ as a means to an end, a way to improve his life. Perhaps he's looking for five steps to achieve a better, you fill in the blank, a marriage, family, business, whatever the case might be. But it looks like a man who has been moved, but not moved in his heart towards affections predominantly towards the Lord. And I think any man who has been changed but does not love Jesus Christ and sees Christ as a means to a betterment for himself is a man that you will see before long has has falsely repented.

I think a man who and we see examples of that through Scripture people who have fallen away they they are around religious things they may attend the religious services They may speak the language of the religious around them. They've mastered and become fluent, but their heart has not been changed. They're still not wanting to part with their sins. You
