Claim of Faithfulness

Click here to listen to blog
Ezekiel, son of man, the people with you in Babylonia talk about you when they meet by the city walls or in the doorways of their houses. They say, “Let's ask Ezekiel what the Lord has said today.”  So they all come and listen to you, but they refuse to do what you tell them. They claim to be faithful, but they are forever trying to cheat others out of their money.  They treat you as though you were merely singing love songs or playing music. They listen, but don't do anything you say.

Ezekiel 33:30-32

Do you really want to know what God thinks about what is going on in the world today? Is your doctrine and theology correct according to the Word? Do you seek knowledge of God to know what He is doing in the world?

All of those things are wonderful, but they mean nothing if you refuse to do the things He tells you to do.

Knowledge and understanding are not the best evidence of a right relationship with God. A right relationship is best seen in repentance and obedience. If a man refuses to turn from evil and to do the things that God tells him to do you can be sure that man is not walking with Jesus.

Sometimes we are more concerned with right theology than with righteous living and being obedient. If you turn your heart to Jesus, listen to His voice and do His will understanding theology and doctrine will not be hard.

Set your heart and mind today on being obedient to every Word of God you hear, then your faithfulness will be true and not just a claim.

"Lord I confess that I have heard Your voice and refused to obey it. I choose to repent of that sin and do Your will today! Thank You Lord! Amen."
