No Other Gods (Lesson 2)

Sorry about missing last week. We were helping a family in time of need.

To love and worship the one true God

Jeremiah 10:11-15 NASB

(11)  Thus you shall say to them, "The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens."

(12)  It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.

(13)  When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain, And brings out the wind from His storehouses.

(14)  Every man is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols; For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.

(15)  They are worthless, a work of mockery; In the time of their punishment they will perish.

Idolatry is an act of supreme foolishness

Jeremiah is preparing to deliver God’s message.  The gods that did not make heaven will perish from this earth.  Isn’t it wonderful to know that the one true God made the heavens and the earth.  He has all power and just from the sound of His voice He moves the waters in heaven and makes the clouds ascend to earth, lightning, rain and wind.

What a powerful God.  Then it is so terrible to think that people make their images from material that will pass away. They invest so much of their time. Time that could be spent serving Jesus.  Not only does the graven images pass away but their gods are dead gods.

John tells us how to make sure we have God.   

1 John 2:22-23 NASB  Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.  (23)  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Get all other things out of your life and ask Jesus to be your Savior today.
