2 | How do forsaking and rejecting relate? | 1 Sam 8:8 | Makarios | 12078 | ||
"How do forsaking and rejecting relate?" 'Forsake' means to give up, renounce, abandon.. 'Reject' means to deny acceptance, to rebuff or throw back.. "Was the Lord pleased with the history of Israel?" Absolutely not (8:8).. "How does forsaking God and serving other gods relate to rejecting Him as King?" Serving other gods is a direct violation of the law (1st Commandment) and a complete breakage (or rejection) of the relationship that Israel should have had with God as His chosen people. So the act of worshipping and following after other gods completely rejects the Lord as their King. "What are the people doing to Samuel?" Samuel felt a personal rejection here also, since he was their judge at the time and God's appointed leader over them. They rejected Samuel as their leader or spokesperson at that time by asking for a king to lead them and speak for them. They were rejecting Samuel as their leader. |
