The man: Who was Zephaniah? The message: God will destroy you The motive: You love idolatry and apostasy Who spoke? God spoke through Zephaniah. What did God say? He would destroy his people. Why did God say it? They violated the 1st table of the law – promoting idolatry that led to apostasy.
Brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ:
a. God is not indifferent to sin. Take this as a warning. His holiness and justice would not allow him to be indifferent!
b. Deal with sin in your life and in the life of the church, particularly the sin of idolatry, which inevitably leads to apostasy.
c. Worship God as he has commanded not the way you might like! Urge others to worship God by taking the Gospel to them and proclaiming it clearly. Let them see who God is and how he demands that we worship him!
Finally: If you are not a Christian you might think that this does not apply to you – this is about Christians and their God. But whether you believe in God or not you are still obligated to obey him. Thinking God doesn't exist doesn't mean he doesn't exist. So what should you do? Learn who God is. Learn what he expects of you. If you do, you will ask him to count Christ's life and death as yours.
