2Ki 17:28-29 “Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the ORD. Howbeit every nation made gods of their own...”
The new settlers in Israel worshiped God without giving up their pagan customs. They worshiped God to appease Him rather than to please Him, treating Him as a hope for good luck. A similar attitude is common today. Many claim to believe in God while refusing to give up attitudes and actions that God denounces. God cannot be added to the values we already have, He must come first and His Word must shape all our actions and attitudes.
It’s more than a profession, it’s practicing what we profess that provides a worthy testimony… HSAY
