Hot and cold running faith?


Hot and cold running faith?

Dear  Saints,
 
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 25.    Amaziah, king of Judah wasn’t an enemy to religion.  It was evident that King Amaziah didn’t have a personal relationship with God.  That would count as a forgone position when he worships the idols of Edom. Amaziah would not listen to the word of God, because he had sought the gods of Edom.  Amaziah's rash challenge would cause his kingdom to be delivered into the hand of their enemies.  25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel. 26 Now the rest of the deeds of Amaziah, from first to last, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel? 27 From the time when he turned away from the Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.” 2 Chronicles 25:25-27 English Standard Version (ESV).  Where exactly did Amaziah fall from God’s grace?  Look at the second verse; “he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not with a whole heart.”  If we are going to commit ourselves to Jesus we must love God with all our heart.  29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”’ Mark 12:29-31 ESV.  God doesn’t want a lukewarm relationship.  Jesus says because some are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, He will spew them out of His mouth (see Revelation 3:14-16). “[ Fulfilling the Law Through Love ] Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8 ESV.  Let your light shine and love God with all your heart.  If you sincerely love the Lord with all your heat and love others as you love yourself you’ll be never cold and always hot!

For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.” Romans 13:6-7
