Jeremiah 2:3a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIsrael was<\/em> holiness to the Lord\u201d. Do you remember when you came to Christ, praying for your salvation and the change it made in your life? He does: \u2018Thus says the Lord: \u201cI remember you, The kindness of your youth, The love of your betrothal, When you went after Me in the wilderness, In a land not sown\u201d (Jeremiah 2:2). What\u2019s changed? Have you gotten so comfortable in your relationship with Him that there is no more love; you\u2019re just going through the motions, waiting for the day He will take you home? \u201cWe are saved by accepting Christ as our Savior; we are sanctified by accepting Christ as our Lord; we may do the first without doing the second\u201d (Tozer on Christian Leadership August 29). As a fire without fuel or oxygen is dead, so is the soul without the Spirit. Do you have a desire to read the Word and spend time with God every day? Do you spend time in worship? Do you have any desire to go deeper in your faith, knowing there is more than where you\u2019re at? Does your life reflect \u201choliness to the Lord\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeremiah 2:3a \u201cIsrael was holiness to the Lord\u201d.
