Study Notes
Hypocrisy and True Devotion
- God condemns those who claim to honor Him with their words, but their hearts are far from Him.
- Their fear of God is based on man-made teachings, rather than genuine devotion.
Consequences of Sin
- When sins are revealed, people will be ashamed before others, and their own sins will accuse them.
- This suggests that judgment will be based on individual actions, and people will be held accountable.
The Role of Priests and Spiritual Leaders
- Priests are expected to be knowledgeable and keep the law, serving as messengers of the Lord.
- A true spiritual leader should not fear the opinions of people, but rather acknowledge the all-seeing eyes of God, who observes all human ways and thoughts, even the most secret ones.
