Lesson Recap:
About Face!
Deut. 4:1-2, 6, 2 Kings 17:5-13, `4-23, 41, 2 Pt. 3:9
Israel:
- Forgot God's Mercy (v7)
- Imitated the ungodly (v8)
- Turned a deaf ear to God's preacher (v 13-18)
- Worshipped the Lord, but not exclusively (v32-34, 41)
- Israel thought they could sin secretly and get away with it.--Are we deceiving ourselves in thinking we can hide our sin from God?
- They knew God's laws--God had sent His prophets and they ignored them. --Are we ignoring God's word?
- They became worthless like the idols they worshipped--Are we worshipping worthless idols?
- Are we becoming immune to God's warning?
- What is it in our lives that would cause anger in God's eyes?
- How has God spoken warnings to us?
- What has been our response to those warnings?
The only appropriate response is Repentance--to make an about face! When we make that about face we will be staring into the face of God. When we turn from our sin God will lead our paths straight. God is full of grace, turn to Him today!
