This was the essence of Jeremiah’s message to Israel; “Change the way you’re living!”

They did not have the gifts that we do … no Jesus, no grace, no Holy Spirit to guide them and convict them of their sin. The pre-incarnate Christ was there in the prophecies given about Him, and He made occasional appearances in a semi-camouflaged way, but He wasn’t walking among them or being preached every Sunday. He had not yet told them that they could come to Him and have all sinfulness washed away in an instant.

We have. We have Him. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. [1 John. 1:9] Therefore, it is much easier and effectively efficient to change our ways of living. He helps us. He loves us and wants to save us from ourselves.

Jesus, give me Your power to live a life that pleases You today.
