We Are More Accountable
We may do things that we know are wrong and yet somehow think we are special because we are His chosen people. We begin to lose humility and become quite arrogant in the fact that we belong to Him.
But did you know that God repeatedly challenges the fact of us thinking that we are special. Israel believed that because they were the chosen people of God that they were special because of their obedience to God and therefore would avoid judgment. They thought judgment would happen to the world, but the chosen people of God would be spared. However, God tried from the beginning to warn the people against this kind of foolish thinking.
Deuteronomy 8:17–18 says, “17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”
We can no longer set back and do nothing or say nothing when we know the truth.
We must always remember just how accountable we are if we call ourselves His children.
