1-minute read Monday’s Verse, 3/17/25
“You will know that I am theΒ Lord, when I deal with you for my nameβs sake and not according to your evil ways and your corrupt practices, you people of Israel, declares the SovereignΒ Lord.ββ Ezekiel 20:44 NIV
Comments: As I read through the book of Ezekiel, I noticed that the prophecies frequently said that God would deal with the people “for my name’s sake” and not according to what they have done. Pastor David Jeremiah explains:
“When God says that He deals with Israel for my name’s sake, He means that He interacts with the people on the basis of who He is – a holy, righteous, sovereign, patient, gracious, wise, and omnipotent God – not on the basis of who they are or according to their evil ways or corrupt practices. God shows us grace and showers us with His mercy because of His character, not because of our behavior. It is because of His unchanging character that we can place our trust in Him.” (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)
