To this very day, too many people act in mere ritual, and confront THE LORD when HE does not do dances around them! They don't acknowledge that much of what they do is insincere, first from the heart, which HE searches, and knows, and then from the mind...
Few want to listen to reason, and align to TRUTH, which is to renounce sin, and exist in self-sacrificing LOVE, instead, it is assumed that mere rituals will reach the HEAVENS, and they do, but as we learn, favourably, NOT!!!
*GOD* CANNOT be fooled, HE will NOT be mocked; HE HAS set THE WAY before HIS people; ways such as fighting for injustice, and oppression, caring and providing for the orphans, the widowed, the needy, the hungry, the homeless, and all who are suffering, OUT OF LOVE, and compassion, as HE HAS on us, with a SINCERE heart, and TRUE affection for others! LOVE IS ALWAYS the beginning, and the end, and SERVES everyone, and everything RIGHTEOUSLY!!!
Our EXAMPLE IS CHRIST JESUS, who not only existed on this Earth BEING, and DOING THE WILL OF *GOD*, HE TAUGHT us to FOLLOW HIM in HIS example! LOVE IS THE LAW OF *GOD*, and therefore, all within CREATION, and those who do NOT align to LOVE, separate themselves from HIM, regardless of their ritualistic attempts...
1+++Behold, the LORD’S hand is not so short
That it cannot save;
Nor is His ear so dull
That it cannot hear.
2+++But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
3+++For your hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken falsehood,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4+++No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly.
They trust in confusion and speak lies;
They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
5+++They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.
6+++Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And an act of violence is in their hands.
7+++Their feet run to evil,
And they hasten to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.
8+++They do not know the way of peace,
And there is no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
Whoever treads on them does not know peace.
See here sin in true colours, exceedingly sinful; and see sin in its consequences, exceedingly hurtful, separating from God, and so separating us, not only from all good, but to all evil. Yet numbers feed, to their own destruction, on infidel and wicked systems. Nor can their skill or craft, in devising schemes, as the spider weaves its web, deliver or save them. No schemes of self-wrought salvation shall avail those who despise the Redeemer's robe of righteousness. Every man who is destitute of the Spirit of Christ, runs swiftly to evil of some sort; but those regardless of Divine truth and justice, are strangers to peace.
