Grace for your spirit
They feed on the sin of My people And direct their desire toward their iniquity. And it will be, like people, like priest; So I will punish them for their ways And repay them for their deeds. Hosea 4:8-9
The priests were a millstone around the neck of God's people for generations. When the people of the Old Covenant sinned, they brought sacrifices and offerings to the priests. The priests got rich and fat due to the sins of the people. The priests had no interest in the people getting better, and they did nothing to encourage it. Their hypocrisy ran over into their own lives, which additionally perverted the masses. World religions have grown large and corrupt in the very same way. When we keep people in sin, and keep them guilty, we corrupt ourselves and the church for money. Punishment is sure unless we break the cycle with righteousness that only comes in Christ.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
Philippians 4:23
