Talkers of God, but Lovers of Sin

Sriptural book text: (King James Version) Jeremiah chapter 3

1They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.

2Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

Once we confess God as our lord and savior, we accept him. God is a loving, kind, and merciful God; but he is not to be taking for granite. How long must we continue to indulge in sin? We have learned of him through reading the bible, sermons, but most of all through his hand in our life. God is saying you confess me as your savior, your father, but you act as thou I'm not.

We can talk about God's abundant grace, but what about our life? Is our daily walk a light to others? How long will thou continue to say you love me but yet love sin. it's time to turn loose from our old ways and press toward the mark, God says.

Let's just take a moment to really think about what God is saying. ..
here is a scenario: You are in a relationship with someone. They profess their love for you, but their actions say other wise. They actually go out and do things as if they weren't in a relationship. After while they leave you for someone else; and after seeing that person is not what they thought, they return unto you. Now imagine how God feels.

Often times we become attracted to the things of the world. We even become consume by them, yes the grass may look greener on the other side, it may seem that the people of the world are living it up, but one day every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess.

God is simply saying, I still love you, Repent of your sins and turn to me. Turn from your ways, For onlyI can save you. If you read the next verse in Jeremiah chapter 3, it talks about how the showers have been withholden and no latter rain. that's our Blessings that's been withholden!
Repent and turn to me God says, he can heal our backsliding ways.
God loves us all. I encourage and challenge all of us to repent, turn from our wicked ways, keep God first and serve him whole heartedly. He loves us more than we will ever know.
