“Therefore here is what Adonai says: ‘You did not heed Me and proclaim freedom, each to his brother and each to his neighbor; so now I proclaim for you a freedom,’ says Adonai, ‘for sword, plague and famine. I will make you an object of horror to all kingdoms on earth.”
Jeremiah 34:17 CJB

God doesn’t want us to oppress people or to lord over others, He desires us to share about the freedom we can have walking in His Salvation! We need to heed what God says and then do it!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”

“Samuel said, Does Adonai take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying what Adonai says? Surely obeying is better than sacrifice, and heeding orders than the fat of rams.”

Another comforting verse on how much God loves us, we are His people and He is our God!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.”
John 3:16 CJB

This, by far, is one of the most quoted New Testament verses. Even unbelievers know this verse! God created the world and us and He loves us so much that He gave all. Why? So we can see that He is perfect and He is all we need! We can’t live without Him nor should we even try!

“You are to follow Adonai your God, fear Him, obey His mitzvot (commands), listen to what He says, serve Him and cling to Him.”

We need to see how great and good Adonai is and that should lead us to repent!

Shabbat 153 in the Talmud

Repenting was nothing new. When John the Baptist said repent, the Kingdom of God is at hand, He was stating that it is highly important to repent here and now!

“Seek Adonai while He is available, call on Him while He is still nearby.”
Isaiah 55:6 CJB

As we see the world rapidly falling apart around us, we should fervently be seeking Adonai! Why? Because He is gracious and full of mercy and ready to forgive when we repent!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“You will be My people, and I will be your God.”
