Hosea 11:7 My people are bent on turning away from me, and though they call out to the Most High, he shall not raise them up at all.

Those who turn their back on love are in denial that Jesus Christ is Lord and all things have been placed in His hands.

Psalm 95:8 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

Read for yourselves Exodus 17 and what leads to a hardened heart. His Word speaks.

In these present times there are many who do not believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. We can provide our witness for what God has done for us and in us and they will deny His power to save.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

It is as simple as they love sinning and have no intention of giving up their right to choose pleasing themselves. “Pride of life” is self rule. Man as a god unto themselves.

John 7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.

John 15:18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

If the world hates you, then you must be doing something right.

Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.

Jesus declared He is the Way. Following Him takes commitment. Trust is vital.

Patience is required while we wait on His actions. Patience is part of commitment because we cannot replace His will with our desires.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.

Zephaniah 2:1-3 English Standard Version

1 Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation,
2 before the decree takes effect —before the day passes away like chaff— before there comes upon you the burning anger of the Lord, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.

His commands are just.

John 14:15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Love is a commitment.

John 6:66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

Who turns their back on love?
