Bible Note: I agree with Nolan number 1 is the closest however we have to remember what you call external ceremonial is what was required for forgiveness of sin under the Old Covenant. Unfortunately the people convoluted it and used it more as paying their dues. By that I mean if a person sinned against another he was to repent and offer a sin sacrifice and his sin would be atoned. Instead the people would sin against his neighbor and looked at the required sin sacrifice as almost the cost of doing business, there was no repentance. God through the prophet is saying what good is all the sacrifice if the heart remains unchanged. God was seeking people that held and lived the traits he mentioned in verse 8. We have the same situation today. People say they believe in Christ and yet they treat others as dogs. If they get caught they will say their sorry but in the their heart it is not more than the cost of doing business. Yet Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments. Today there is the gospel of easy believeism where what is taught is all you need to do is believe. However salvation requires repentance, repentance a change of attitude, and requires a change of heart. |
