The Men of Zadok
Ezekiel 48:11
Ezekiel 48:11
"It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray"
It is hard to imagine the reasons why some sinners commit sin still, even when the dangers are known to them, perhaps because of a strong influence. God will judge both the sinner and those that make people sin by their character, words and actions. However it is imperative for all men to be armed with the knowledge that anyone and that is right- anyone can be used by Satan as long as he(Satan) is given a place, regardless of status or class. No one should be a bad influence on anyone. Be like the sons of Zadok who would not join Israel and the other Levites to sin.
The men of Zadok were chosen to serve God because they decided to be different. They were allowed to handle the sacrifices in the temple. Staunch men they were and nothing could move them! Believers have their first service to God Himself not any man.
Sin always produces the same fruit, death and separation from God, including your “excused sins”.
God will not exclude any party. Therefore be ready to do what is right no matter the condition. Prepare thy heart to be judged by God. Come before him, weigh your actions on his own scale. God understands even unspoken words. Lay your problems at his feet.
A pure life, consecrated unto God is very important to spend eternity with the pure God. (Matthew 5:8)
No more blames and pointing of fingers! No more excuses for sin. No more swaying. Do not be doomed because of another person who may eventually receive forgiveness. Run into God in times of sore temptation, He is a great succour.
Shalom
