Outward godliness never cuts it amongst God.
He hates it.
Jeremiah 6 tells us near a fourth dimension when:
1. God's people ignored God's Word (10).
2. Religious leaders fed the people "feel-good" dribble (13-15).
3. State of Israel stood at a crossroads betwixt ancient, godly paths together with "modern" religious belief (16).
4. Their outward religious acts were displeasing to God (20).
Many of these same things are happening today, together with 2 Timothy 3:5 warns New Testament Christians (that's us) near outward forms of godliness that deny God's power.
There are enough of modern feel-good teachers who'll say us Jesus came to give us health, wealth, together with worldly pleasures.
But Jesus came to give us the ability together with wish to await past times worldly goals. Jesus came to instruct us obedience motivated past times love, together with to give us peace together with promise inwards the midst of difficulty.
Christ's ability moves us forward, beyond ourselves, beyond our unworthy pursuits.
We also stand upward at a crossroads. Let's require those ancient, godly paths!
