The
Lord is looking for His people to stand up and be counted as His
faithful servants. There is a commitment to be made, a commitment to be
maintained. It is not only beginning with Christ. It is going on with
Him. This is illustrated in the story of Zacchaeus. We are to walk
securely as men of integrity (Proverbs 10:9).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
