You Need a Heart Change

We sin against God because we do not love Him. Do not ever confuse your unwillingness to live for God based on some other thought or opinion. Unwillingness to live for God is sin; and that is a fact. The entire bible tells us about our sinful nature and our disobedience to God. But this is a section from Isaiah chapter 1 that describes how we are and God's response to it:


11 “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations—I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
cease to do evil,
17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

God knows our thoughts, the intentions of our hearts; God knows everything about you more than you do. What God desires is for all peoples to worship Him in spirit and truth. This is what Jesus said, "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him." ~John 3:23

So my advice is to be real with God. No matter what you do, it is impossible to do something wrong God doesn't know about.

So do you worship God with sincere faith? You should.
