From Matthew 15:8-9, we see the Lord’s condemnation of religious folks who worshiped God after the commandments of men. When we worship God after man’s commandments, we become hypocrites, simply because if we truly loved and honored God as we claim, we would worship Him precisely as He directs (Matthew 7:21).Though religious folks strongly claim to honor and respect God, their teaching as doctrines the commandments of men, causes God to call them “hypocrites” (Matthew 15:7)
Brethren, let us not fall in the hypocrite category before God.
Rather, let us boldly reject all traditions and doctrines of men, worshiping and serving the Lord in accord with His "truth" (John 17:17; cf. Psalm 119:142,151).
