One of the greatest verses in the Bible is found in Jeremiah 9:23-24:
“Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches, but let him who glories, glory in this > that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises mercy, justice and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, says the LORD.”
How well do you know the Lord? How long have you been a church member?
How many of His attributes could you name and explain?
How much have you ever studied the person and character of God?
The Bible’s God is a vast and immense subject and can be quite controversial.
Do you believe in the sovereignty of God?
Is He sovereign over all things?
Including salvation?
Do you believe in the wrath and judgment of God?
Do you believe in the holiness of God?
Do you believe in Hell and eternal punishment?
Do those subjects make you queasy and uncomfortable?
The majority of church members live and die in an ignorance of God! Why?
They attend church very infrequently.
They never read and study their Bibles.
They are content with memorizing John 3:16.
Go back and look long and hard at Jeremiah 9:23-24. That is the God of the Bible!
Is this the God you know?
