The Abandonment of Loyalty

<p>The abandonment of loyalty may be applied to many different issues in life. Here are four abandonments of many: <br>The abandonment of the living God<br>The abandonment of marriage between husband and wife <br>The abandonment of raising one's children in the ways of Jesus' Word <br>The abandonment of Jesus and the Holy Spirit for the American lifestyle and culture </p><p>God's Word says in Hosea 6:4 and 6 What shall I do with you O Ephraim? What shall I do with you O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud And like the dew which goes away early and For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings (NASB).</p><p>God destroyed disobedient people in the Old Testament some of whom were His chosen people.</p><p>Jesus says in the New Testament in Luke 6:46 Why do you call Me 'Lord Lord' and do not do what I say? (NASB). Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (NASB).</p><p>Jesus will destroy disobedient Christians in the end. Who are His chosen people? Do not kid yourself into thinking that because you are a Christian you are secure if you are disobeying Jesus' commands.</p>
