2Ch 25:2 ‘And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.’
Amaziah did what was right on the outside, but inside he often resented what he had to do. His obedience was at best halfhearted. When promised God's deliverance, Amaziah first complained about the money that had been lost (vs 9), valuing military success more than God's will. We must search our own hearts and root out any resistance in our obedience. Rashness makes work for repentance; Amaziah wasn’t against God, just indifferent towards His will which eventually leads to indifference towards obedience altogether.
The deception of Christianity with indifference is more insidious and less curable than infidelity itself; at least one has a chance for change when presented truth (Rev 3:15)… HSAY
