Sermon 77 "Illuminations of God in Isaiah"
Many people have only a vague idea of God. But God wants us to know Him intimately. When we understand and obey Him, we receive His abundant blessings.
The book of the prophet Isaiah reveals many interesting qualities of God.
Isaiah presents us with a God who is reaching out to a sinful people, instructing them in how to return to righteousness.
We discover a God who is not pleased when His people merely play church, going through the motions of religious activity, but their hearts are far from Him.
We also discover a God who will punish the arrogant elite rules of nations, the corrupt governments that oppress the poor and vulnerable classes of society.
God instructs us to not worry about the evil leaders, but to seek Him, return to Him, and trust Him, for He promises to strengthen and protect us.
God becomes transparent, to a remarkable degree, in the book of Isaiah, as He declares that He is the only God that exists, and He is a God of great mercy as well as exalted majesty.
What a wonderful God we have. Let's make sure we are honoring Him in our lives, and not just in our doctrines and worship services.
