God condemns the fake religion
Isaiah 1:12-20
“At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?”
Prophet's Isaías book already begins with God interrogating the people about the situation that those country was. In spite of Israel to be the people of God the situation was not pleasant. The people was sick, open wounds, the country being destroyed. The burned cities, plantations being stolen and the capital Jerusalem completely in ruins. In spite of everything this that happened, the people were unable to notice the reasons that it took the nation to live such calamity.
In the verse 5 God asks: “Don't you get tired of being punished?" For that the people suffered so much. The nation was being punished by the Lord as consequence for their countless sins. No longer one existed more cult to the Lord, only a reunion. Adoration don’t happened so long.
In the verse 12 God asks the people: "for what serve your sacrifices if you don't feel sadness for their sins?" When the man sins and no feel inconvenienced by you sins means that the sin to be a natural thing for him.
In yours honesty, God tells the people: "the incense that you burn me, smells badly. Their parties don't pass of thick lies. I can't tolerate more all these parties, I suffer with them. Already nor I can look at these ceremonies." That sadness!
The verse 13 declares: There is nothing to hate as much as a fake religion." God wants a clean people and only He can clean of our sins, but for this we needed a sincere regret.
In the verse 19 God implores: "Let me help you. If at least you obeyed could live me rich and happy in the earth."
It is this that God wants to give to his people. A happy life in the earth.
Unhappily a lot of people, same being said "people of God" has been living in complete sin, with the mind cauterized by the mistakes and no longer it inconveniences them more Holy Spirit voice calling them to a life of sanctity.
When the people of God were struggling for the promised land God said: "Sanctify today because tomorrow will make marvels in the middle of you." If you want to see the marvels of God happening in your life, you need to sanctify first.
The only area of our life in the which God accepts just receives a small part is our tithe. God is satisfied with 10% of that that He gives us. However in all the other areas of the life, God demands 100% and he is not satisfied with nothing less than this.
God wants from you a total and sincere compromising with His word and will. Decide to look for the sanctification in your life and you will see wonderful things that the Lord he will do for you and through you. Except you will hear God say: "because you are lukewarm, I will vomit you of my presence."
Its not this that God wants for you, but a different situation only depends on you to make a firm decision of serving Him in total sanctity.
See you!
