How Will you Respond to the Sovereign Lord?
May 5, 2024 • Jon Anderson • Amos 9
“The decline of the knowledge of the holy has brought on our troubles. A rediscovery of the majesty of God will go a long way toward curing them. It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate. If we would bring back spiritual power to our lives, we must begin to think of God more nearly as He is.” —A.W. Tozer (The Knowledge of the Holy) This is what the Prophet Amos attempted to do for the Jews of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. He wanted the Israelites to respond rightly to their Sovereign Lord. The Sovereign Lord wants you to respond rightly to who He is. What do we need to understand about our Sovereign Lord in order to respond rightly to Him?

In Amos 8 God sent Amos a fourth vision to show the people of Israel just how seriously God takes sin. God wanted the Israelites to understand and see sin and all of its consequences as He sees it. If we are to kill sin in our lives, then we must see sin as God sees it. We must understand just how serious sin is and look to change. How do take sin as seriously as God?
