With The Privilege Of Being The Lord’s People Comes The Responsibilty Of Living As His People.

Jeremiah 25:15-38
‘I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name’(29). With the privilege of being the Lord’s people comes the responsibilty of living as the Lord’s people. We are not to be His people in name only. We are to live the life of the people of God. We must not imagine that we can enjoy the privilege of being God’s people if we are not prepared to bear the responsibility of living as His people. Privilege and resonsibility belong together: ‘You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; thereforeI will punish you for all your sins’(Amos 3:2). We cannot say, ‘I belong to the Lord’ and then live whatever way we like. To those who have been ‘raised with Christ’, receiving new life through faith in Him, God says, ‘Set your hearts and minds on things above, not on earthly things’(Colossians 3:1-2).
