—Jeremiah 11:1-10
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
God’s commands must be obeyed and His covenants kept. Just as He warned His people who came out of Egypt, there are consequences for turning away from God. By following their own desires and serving other gods, the people faced the prospect of incurring God’s wrath and bringing “on them all of the curses of the covenant [God] had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep” (v.8, NIV). In the same way, we too must keep our covenant with God through Jesus Christ—to love God and to love each other.
