Bible Question: What is Isaiah/God’s criticism of the people of Jerusalem in 1:10-18? What is God’s remedy? |
Bible Answer: What Isaiah was warning the people of was the folly of false religion. Their religious assemblies were actually sinful in God's eyes because they were an attempt to replace godly living with religious ceremony. The cure for spiritual illness is through a relationship with the Lord, and not through increased religious activity, or 'religiosity'. God had commanded them to perform sacrifices, yet He took no delight with them if they were performed only for the sake of obedience and did not come from their heart. May we strive for a right behavior before God and not merely go through the motions. Lord Bless, Tim |
