—Jeremiah 7:1-15
by: Trisha Gerstel.
We often miss the foundation of God’s Law, as is summed up in verse 6: “to your own ruin.” Habakkuk 1:13 tells us that the Lord’s eyes “are too pure to look at evil”; this means that our purpose—to have a relationship with God—cannot be fulfilled when our hearts are entrenched in sin. Just like a loving parent, God created His Law for our own good, and each of us should regularly evaluate our habits of attending church, giving to ministries, showing kindness, etc., making certain they are coming from a sincere heart that truly understands why God wants us to do these things.
