Jeremiah 6

Jeremiah 6:13

JUDAH REFUSES TO LISTENNow Jeremiah concludes his message in chapter 6. The entire nation was obsessed with covetousness. And covetousness is the great sin in America. There is the coveting of gold and silver, riches, fame, and the neighbor’s wife. Those are the things men covet.

Jeremiah 6:14

There was a reformation on the surface. There was a little healing, but it was like pouring talcum powder on a cancer and then saying it is healed. People were saying “Peace,” when there was no peace. And we hear a great deal about peace today, but I think that in reality we are getting ready for the final conflict.

Jeremiah 6:19

In rejecting the Word of God, they have rejected God. And when men reject God there is always something that follows

Jeremiah 6:30

Reprobate is actually the same word as reject. Therefore, it could read, “Rejected silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.” God says to the people of Judah, “You have rejected My law, and I will reject you and when I reject you, the men of the world are going to reject you also.” Interesting, isn’t it? It worked out that way in Jeremiah’s day, and it is working that way in our day. We have spent billions of dollars to buy friends throughout the world; yet we are not loved by this big, bad world because we have rejected God and God will reject us. This is a very solemn message, and we ought not to treat it lightly.
