Ask For The Old Paths

“Thus says the LORD: ‘Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it’” (Jeremiah 6:16). The Israelites wandered far from God. His law offended them. They found no pleasure in His word. As a result, the people became greedy and unjust. Their service to God was a mere formality. To make matters worse, they were not ashamed of their sins. So when the prophet called them back to their old paths (the Law) they said “No way, we’re satisfied with what we’re doing.”

That situation has been often repeated. How can it be avoided? “We must pay more careful attention…to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away” (Heb 2:1-4). Just as Israel was punished for disobeying their law, Christians will face the same fate by drifting away from the gospel.
