Jeremiah 4

Bible Passage: Jeremiah 4

Our lives are full of “Ifs”.

‘If I had done this or that, my life would be much better now”

“If I had known what to say, I would not be in trouble”

“If I had taken the right turn, we would not be lost now”

“If… if…. if”.

We always know better on hindsight.

But in our Christian life, there are many things that God has already told us.  Much like what God is telling Jeremiah to tell Judah.

God is telling them if they will just do this, their life will…. be definitely so much better.

Just take a look at what Jeremiah tells Judah in this chapter…

Jeremiah told Judah…

“If you put away the things (idols) that God detests….”

“If you will be steady in your faith and not waver ….”

“If you are willing to break up the unplowed ground of your heart and not sow thorns… that means if you are willing to get rid of the sins that entangle you…. the sins that have hardened your heart and prevent you from drawing close to God…”

“If they will exchange their skills for doing evil to that of doing good…”

“If they will separate themselves from all evil and sin…”

Jeremiah told them that IF they were to do these things….

• They will be blessed….
• They will bring glory to God…
