God has been very exact about what kind of people he wants his followers to be.
God wants us to think of him first. When he taught the children of Israel how to sacrifice, he required the best of the flock for that purpose. (Leviticus 1) When the Corinthians needed guidance for using their spiritual gifts, they received the definition of love (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Sometimes we forget these things …
Our acts of worship become just a habit …
we forget to actually connect with God…
love turns up missing…
And everything we are falls short of our potential.
Follow the Jews through the Old Testament, or read 1 Corinthians all the way through to see what I mean.
