To Whom Can I Give Warning?

Their Ears are Closed

 

Jeremiah 6:10 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

“10To whom can I give this warning?

Who will listen to me?

Look, their ears are closed,

so they cannot hear.

See, the word of the LORD has become offensive to them;

they find no pleasure in it.”

 

What kinds of warnings are we given in the New Testament Scriptures? And what kinds of warnings should we be giving out to the people of our nations, and in the world at large in this day and age? The most critical of them all is that we must warn against false teachers and preachers who are preaching lies to the people, and against the false gospel message that so many of them are teaching to the people which is giving them a false hope of salvation. For the lies are sending many to hell on the promise of heaven.

 

Now Jesus Christ taught that to come to Him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die to sin daily, and suffer for the sake of righteousness), and follow Him in obedience to His commands. For if sin remains our practice, and not obedience to our Lord’s commands, we do not have salvation from sin nor eternal life with God. But sadly so many people professing faith in Jesus Christ are closing their minds and hearts and ears to this message, for they want to continue in deliberate and habitual sin without obedience.

 

When There is No Peace

 

Jeremiah 6:13-15 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

“13For from the least of them to the greatest,

all are greedy for gain;

from prophet to priest,

all practice deceit.

14They dress the wound of My people

with very little care,

saying, ‘Peace, peace,’

when there is no peace at all.

15Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed?

No, they have no shame at all;

they do not even know how to blush.

So they will fall among the fallen;

when I punish them, they will collapse.”

 

We live in a day and age, at least we do in the USA, when we have so many preachers and pastors and teachers of the Scriptures who are speaking lies to the people in order to tickle itching ears. They are convincing the people that a mere verbal confession of Christ as Lord is enough to secure them forgiveness of all sins and a permanent home in heaven with God when they die, or when Christ returns for His faithful bride, His church, the body of Christ. But that is not what Jesus and His apostles taught as the gospel.

 

So, why do they speak lies? For one, they want to attract the world to their gatherings, and the gospel message taught in the New Testament is not going to draw in large crowds of people from the world into their gatherings. It will offend most of them, in fact, for it demands death to sin and walks of obedience to God and to His commands as a matter of life practice. And it teaches that if sin remains our practice (our habit), and not obedience to God, we will not have the promise of eternal life with God guaranteed.

 

But these false teachers and preachers “dress the sin wound” of God’s people (and those who profess faith in Jesus with their lips only) as though it is not serious, and as though a mere “I believe in Jesus” confession takes care of it all and now they are good to go for eternity even though most of them are still living in addiction to sin, especially in the area of sexual immorality. And they tell them if they “prayed the prayer” that heaven is now guaranteed them and God’s grace covers all their habitual sins.

 

For this gets them more people coming to their “churches” if they soften the message of the gospel to make it less offensive to the people who they want to attract to their gatherings. And not only are they not ashamed of the lies which they teach, but they often will go after those who are speaking the truth in order to silence them by accusing them falsely of teaching “works salvation.” Thus, those who teach the lies and those who believe and live the lies will both hear Jesus say, “I never knew you. Depart from me.”

Lies and Betrayals

Lies and betrayals, and many a tale, 

And multitudes sacrificed while their chiefs hailed. 

Ribbons and marches and buildings and arches,

And letters of magnitude, and those of gratitude.

Crowds of confusion and lots of illusions

Leaves many in darkness regardless of smartness.

The enemy knows how to fool, armored with many a tool,

Knows where our triggers lie, knows that for what we’ll die.

For he has observed us, knows just what we’ll do,

Knows just how to trick us to get us unglued.

So we have to be on the lookout for him,

So we don’t fall prey to his tricks, while he grins.

So we can’t go blinded, move fast pace ahead,

Without taking time to inquire of our Head.

There’s so much that’s out there, so much to digest,

That we can’t afford to not pray, can’t do less.

What Will You Do?

Foolish and Senseless People

Jeremiah 5:20-22 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

20Declare this in the house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah:

21“Hear this, O foolish and senseless people,

who have eyes but do not see,

who have ears but do not hear.

22Do you not fear Me?”

declares the LORD…

Translated to today, this is speaking to the church in a specific location. Since I live in the USA, and this is what I know, I will apply this to the church in my nation. First of all, so much of what is called “church” here in the USA are businesses being led by men who are marketing the church to the people of the world, all of which God forbids. And so they entertain the world in order to attract them to their gatherings, and they alter the gospel to make it less offensive and more acceptable to the world and to the flesh.

Therefore, those who have adopted these worldly gatherings which are being marketed to the world and which are altering the gospel message in order to not offend the ungodly, and in order to attract the world to their gatherings, they are senseless people who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear, for they do not stand on the truth of God’s word. And they themselves are not sharing the biblical gospel with others, either, for they would rather be liked by the world than to be rejected for speaking the truth.

Stubborn and Rebellious Hearts

Jeremiah 5:23-27 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

23But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.

They have turned aside and gone away.

24They have not said in their hearts,

‘Let us fear the LORD our God,

who gives the rains, both autumn and spring, in season,

who keeps for us the appointed weeks of harvest.’

25Your iniquities have diverted these from you;

your sins have deprived you of My bounty.

26For among My people are wicked men;

they watch like fowlers lying in wait;

they set a trap to catch men.

27Like cages full of birds,

so their houses are full of deceit.

Therefore they have become powerful and rich.

Many are those who profess faith in Jesus Christ with their lips but whose hearts are far from God. They do not fear (honor, respect, revere, obey) God and His Word, for they are convinced that a mere verbal confession of faith in Jesus is all that is required of them in order for them to be forgiven all their sins and to have God’s heaven as their eternal destiny. For that is what they are being taught by many men who call themselves pastors of churches. And so they don’t bother to search the Scriptures for the truth.

Therefore, so many of them feel at liberty to continue in deliberate and habitual sin against God, and not in walks of obedience to His commands, for they have chosen to believe the lies and to reject the truth of the gospel of Christ. And among them are many wicked men who are laying traps for the naïve by promoting the lies of Satan as though they are truth while they reject the truth of the gospel while calling it “works salvation.” But Jesus taught we must die to sin and obey God or we don’t have life with God.

The People Love It So

Jeremiah 5:30-31 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

30A horrible and shocking thing

has happened in the land.

31The prophets prophesy falsely,

and the priests rule by their own authority.

My people love it so,

but what will you do in the end?

So this is the present situation in so much of what is being called “church” in the USA today. So many people are following after false prophets and teachers and pastors who are deliberately diluting the gospel message in order to appease human flesh and to not offend the ungodly of the world who they are trying to attract to their gatherings. And so many pastors are leading congregations more like cult leaders who demand full loyalty to themselves, often above or in place of full loyalty and devotion to God.

And people who call themselves “Christians,” or who make no professions of faith in Jesus Christ, have in the past or still are in the present flocking to these gatherings where the lies are being taught in place of the truth and where those addicted to sin are being pacified in their sins rather than being brought to biblical repentance, and where the “pastor” is taking the place of God in the minds and lives of the people. For so many of these gatherings appeal to the desires of the flesh, and they do not call the people to repent.

The Gospel

But Jesus Christ taught that to come to Him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) Him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to His commands, in His power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22] 

So, please know the truth, believe the truth, and reject the lies of Satan.

No greater joy have I when serving You. 

Loving, giving, resting in Your strength, 

I’m yielding to Your will. 

Zeal for Your house, it consumes me.

See the church turned upside down:

Marketing ventures taking place of worship,

Men of the gospel turning into clowns.

Gospel message made appealing,

So the world will feel at home.

Lord, we need a great revival.

Turn their hearts, Lord, back to You.

Open the blind eyes, turn them all from darkness,

Lord, to the light. May they return to You, 

Turn from their sin, forsake idols,

Be restored to God again.

If You Will Return

Jeremiah 4:1-4 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

“1 If you will return, O Israel,

return to Me,” declares the LORD.

“If you will remove your detestable idols from My sight

and no longer waver,

2and if you can swear, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’

in truth, in justice, and in righteousness,

then the nations will be blessed by Him,

and in Him they will glory.”

3For this is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:

“Break up your unplowed ground,

and do not sow among the thorns.

4Circumcise yourselves to the LORD,

and remove the foreskins of your hearts,

O men of Judah and people of Jerusalem.

Otherwise, My wrath will break out like fire

and burn with no one to extinguish it,

because of your evil deeds.”

 

Biblical Israel Today

 

Biblical Israel today is all who are of genuine faith in Jesus Christ, who by faith in the Lord Jesus have denied self, died to sin, and who are following Jesus Christ in obedience to His commands in holy living. But it is possible for those who are of genuine faith in the Lord to fall back into sin and to be those who are in need to repent of (die to) their sin and to return to walks of obedience to the Lord (see the letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3).

 

But there are also many who call themselves “Christians” but who are “Christians” in name only, but not in practice. They may have “prayed the prayer to receive Christ,” but they never did deny self, die to sin, and walk with God (in conduct) in obedience to His commands. So their professions of faith in Jesus are in lip service only. For if sin remained their practice, and not obedience to God, they never did know God in truth and in godliness.

 

A Call to Return (to Turn)

 

So this is a call for the unfaithful to return to walks of obedience to God in surrender to His will, and to forsake their sinful practices. And it is a call to the faithless to believe in the Lord Jesus in truth, to be crucified with Christ in death to sin, and to be raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as servants of righteousness in walks of obedience to the Lord and to His commands, in the power of God.

 

For if sin remains their practice, and not obedience to God, and if they do not repent of their sinful ways and now walk worthy of the grace of God, but if they continue to choose their sins over obedience to God, then according to God’s Word they will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. And they will not inherit eternal life with God. For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives until the return of our Lord.

 

Detestable Idols

 

So, what are these “detestable idols” God wants removed from His sight? In the previous chapter they mention idolatry, adultery, sexual immorality, prostitution, wickedness, faithlessness, unfaithfulness, infidelity, indifference to God and to His commands, and indifference to their own sins of adultery and idolatry, pretense, fakery, rebellion against God, betrayal, perverted ways, deception, disobedience to God, and worship of foreign gods, etc.

 

Unplowed Ground

 

So this is a call, not only to rid oneself of all detestable idols which are contrary to God and to His will, but it is a call to “break up your unplowed ground.” So, what does that mean? With regard to literal ground, which is unplowed, this is referring to literal ground which is not useful for planting seeds or for producing a harvest.

 

And the way we break up our own “unplowed ground” in our hearts is through prayerful heart examination before the Lord in truth where we turn away from our sin by forsaking and/or throwing off anything that is leading us into sin or that has become the object of our affections over and above or in place of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

 

Circumcise Yourselves

 

Physical circumcision involves the cutting away of flesh, so to circumcise our hearts involves the cutting away of our fleshly appetites and desires that stand in opposition to our holy God and to His will for our lives. So, God is calling out to His church to come to Him in humility, to allow the Holy Spirit to examine our hearts and to put His finger on areas of our lives that are sinful and that we know are against God’s will for our lives, and then for us to turn from our sin and then to turn to walk in obedience to Christ.

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

The Human Heart

The human heart from faith departs,

The flesh of man, it kicks the can,

It dwells in cannots, all things failed,

A change in life course, it has bailed.

The heart of man, it feeds the flesh,

It leaves the person in a mess,

And few are those who will confess,

Results of sin they’ll not address.

For many live in unreal worlds,

Their private sins they’ve not unfurled,

They keep them secret, not to share,

So masquerades are what they wear.

The human heart is selfish, grim,

It will not bow to God, not Him,

It keeps its distance, sin to guard,

For faith in Christ is just too hard.

An Original Work / November 6, 2023

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

When we humans are born into this world, we are born with sin natures, in the image of Adam, the first man God created, and the first man to sin against God. So human hearts are prone to sin. They are prone to be selfish and to do what is wrong. And so Jesus gave His life up for us on that cross to change our hearts to be more like Jesus, to be people of faith who now live for Him in obedience to His commands, and no longer as slaves to sin.

[Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 3:9-26; Romans 5:12-19; Romans 6:1-23; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22,42-49; Ephesians 2:1-3,8-10]

But You Keep Doing Evil

 

The Church's Unfaithfulness to God

I am reading in Jeremiah 2:14-37, but I will only quote a small portion of this passage of Scripture. The subject matter is Israel’s unfaithfulness to God. And biblical Israel today is the church, the body of Christ, of those who are of faith in Jesus Christ. But the gatherings of the church may include many people who are of faith in Jesus but who have wandered back into sin, as well as those who profess faith in Jesus Christ with their lips but who do not live to please God with their lives. And they are being addressed here.

 

Jeremiah 2:20-22,34-35 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

“20For long ago you broke your yoke

and tore off your chains,

saying, ‘I will not serve!’

Indeed, on every high hill

and under every green tree

you lay down as a prostitute.

21I had planted you like a choice vine

from the very best seed.

How could you turn yourself before Me

into a rotten, wild vine?

22Although you wash with lye

and use an abundance of soap,

the stain of your guilt

is still before Me.”

 

“34..But in spite of all these things

35you say, ‘I am innocent.

Surely His anger will turn from me.’

Behold, I will judge you,

because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’”

 

No Fear of God

 

Many people professing faith in Jesus Christ have fallen back into sin or they are those who never truly ever repented of their sin, so they never left their sin behind them to begin with. And many of them are listening to the lies of false teachers and preachers and prophets who are telling them that God does NOT require of them that they deny self, die to sin, and obey God and His commands. And they are listening to the lies which tell them that all their sins are forgiven so they can keep on in their sin without punishment.

 

And so they are believing that they can be “Christians” who are on their way to heaven while they still walk (in conduct, in practice) in deliberate and habitual sin against God. And sexual sin seems to be the predominant sin captivating the minds and hearts of so many professing Christians these days. Statistics have it that about ¾ of Christian men, and about ½ of Christian pastors, and about ½ of Christian women engage in the viewing of pornographic images (often resulting in self-gratification). Astounding!

 

Believing the Lies

 

But it isn’t just that. So many professing Christians are captivated by the sinful pleasures of the flesh, whatever the category of sins may be, and they are believing the lies that God is okay with that. For they are accepting the lies which tell them that God will not judge them for their sins and that they are assured of spending eternity with God based on lip service to God only. And the sins could be merely ignoring God and His will for their lives and living for the pleasures of the flesh, instead. God is, thus, pushed aside.

 

Although they may give an outward appearance of being followers of Christ because they attend a particular church gathering once or twice a week, they are not serving the Lord Jesus with their lives, but they are serving their own flesh, instead. For they are busy fulfilling their fleshly and selfish desires in place of surrendering their lives to God in His service, in doing His will He has for their lives. For their lives are centered on the things of this world rather than on God and His will and purpose for their lives.

 

Making Excuses

 

Rather than acknowledging their sins and repenting of their sins and turning to obey God with their lives, from this moment forward, they make excuses for why they do the things they do. Sometimes they will blame other people or their circumstances, but they will not take ownership for their own sins. No matter how many years they have been living in addiction to sin without genuine biblical repentance, they will find a work-around in order to excuse away their sinful behaviors and practices, even claiming that it was not sin.

 

But the Scriptures teach us that if we claim to be in fellowship with God and to know God and to love God, but sin is still what we practice, and not obedience to God, that we are liars who do not live by the truth. For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands.

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]
