Saturday, October 31

Jehovah . . . requires exclusive devotion.—Deut. 4:24.

 

The kings of Israel whom Jehovah considered faithful adhered to true worship. The majority of the kings whom Jehovah judged as unfaithful abandoned his Law in favor of false worship. (1 Ki. 21:25, 26; 2 Chron. 12:1) Why was the issue of worship so important to Jehovah? For one thing, the kings were responsible for guiding God’s people in true worship. Also, false worship inevitably leads to other serious sins and injustices. (Hos. 4:1, 2) Furthermore, the kings and their subjects were dedicated to Jehovah. Thus, the Bible likens their involvement in false worship to adultery. (Jer. 3:8, 9) A person who commits literal adultery sins against his or her mate in a most personal way. Similarly, a dedicated servant of Jehovah who engages in false worship sins against Him in a direct and personal manner.—Deut. 4:23. w24.07 22-23 ¶12-15

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
