idolatry obedience repentance

We must come to God without any idols to distract us.   ~~~   King Jesus begins his ministry with these words—“Repent, for the kingdom of God is near.” King Jesus ends his ministry with these words—“repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations.” If you are a believer in Jesus, you need to hear the good news that there is no more wrath for you. None. God poured out all of His wrath against your sin on His Son, Jesus, so that He could pour out all of His blessing on you for eternity. But as we walk this earth, we can push that blessing aside for our own desires and we can fashion our own gods. Calvin said that our hearts are like idol factories. And God Almighty is calling out to us today, “If you want to return to me, you must come with nothing in your hands. No idols. No conditions. You must fix your mind, heart, soul on me.”
