Bible Reading: Jeremiah 6, 7 & 8; 1 Timothy 5
“Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, amend your ways and your doings, and I will course you to dwell in this place” –Jer. 7: 3 (KJV).
In the passage above God gives the children of Israel yet another opportunity to repent – to change their mind and attitude towards God, turn from their own evil ways and return to God’s path of life. The people were breaking God’s Laws and committing all kinds of sins, then on the Sabbath, they came to the Temple and followed its rituals with the idea that they were acceptable before God. This same sort of thinking is evident today among people who claim to follow God and understand His love, yet, they live in ways that totally contradict the commands and standards of His word.
True Christianity and following Jesus are not a matter of religion, but a matter of relationship.
DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS?
