Our Commitment to God (Jeremiah 34-35)
Loving God looks like obeying His word and keeping ours.
1. Disobedience & broken promises (Jer. 34)
– There are times the Lord answers our prayers, and times when His decision is final. (1-7)
– We’re tempted to obey God when we’re scared and ignore Him when we’re confident. (8-11)
– We’re tempted to receive grace and then deny others the same grace we received. (12-16)
– We challenge God to give us over to sin when we repeatedly rebel against His word. (17-22)
2. Obedience & kept promises (Jer. 35)
– God never tempts us, but uses temptation to make us holy and grow our witness (1-5)
– We’re not only subject to God’s law, but also to authority and to our commitments. (6-11)
– We don’t compare ourselves to others, because our real standard is God’s perfection. (12-17)
– It really is possible to follow God’s word and He rewards us when we do. (18-19)
