For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. (Hosea 6:6 KJV)Now a days Mankind are more obsessed with ritual and traditions, like celebrating traditional festivals, like Passover, holy communion, weekly church service etc….God emphasizes that we should have knowledge of God, because Bible declares in
“In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. (Proverbs 14:26-27 KJV)”. Jesus Christ explains “FEAR OF LORD GOD” Said:
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. (Mark 14:38 KJV). Further more But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Luke 12:5 KJV) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent (John 17:3 KJV). Because Bible says:
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (James 1:22 KJV) The final crux of the message is
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord God, and he shall lift you up. (James 4:8-10 KJV)Prayer:
Dear God Jesus Christ!
Let your precious name and word be fruitful to every person reading this message, their family and all their dear ones be blessed in JESUS mighty Name.
AMEN and AMEN.
