Trust Ye Not

                                                             Jeremiah 7:4
                                            "Trust ye not in lying words, saying"
                                                    "The temple of the Lord"

          Here Jeremiah is showing the people the folly of trusting in nonliving objects. He goes on to condemn those who feel they have special favor from God. The Jews felt that they were safe because God would protect His temple. They had already been warned by Isaiah; he told them; Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? Well they refused to listen, so now He makes it clear to them.
          He said He would destroy the temple just like He did in Shiloh. Even in the Day's of Jesus the Jews felt like they had a right to God's miraculous intervention. Just because they would say; "The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord" They thought that was all that was needed. This still goes on today in our time. We go to church, We help the poor, We pay our ties, We even pray to God. Some people may think that is enough, "Surprise it's not."  Matthew 7:21:  Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. So what I said before is good that we do them but......... You Must be Saved by The Blood of Jesus Christ. If you believe in Christ than you believe in God.
