How are we treating God

Isa 1:16-20

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, Ye shall be devoured with the sword: For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Ro 13:8-10 “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,

Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,

Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely,

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”

Do we treat him like a wishing well?

The more God does the more we want

when was the last time you really spent time with God?

Did you listen to what he was saying?

Mark 8:16-21

“And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?”

Is he looked at as Santa Caulse?

are we just expecting God to lay it ut there for us

Matt.6:33

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

seek

Or is he just a rescurer?

Hos 13:14 “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: Repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.”

He hung on the cross and die for our sins and rose on the third day

We should treat him like a savior

1 cor 15:55 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”

A friend who is always there for us

Matt 28:20 “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

A protector

Ps 32:7 “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.”

Ps 119:114 “Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.”

A brother who will always listen to you; but will you listen to Him

Prov. 18:24 “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”
