The Priority of Knowing God

As sin led more and more to the destruction of Israel, Jeremiah mourned the state of God’s people. He accused Israel of being unfaithful-having uncircumcised hearts, which resulted in a superficial religion that did not worship God. Jeremiah 9 points to a future in which God will bring about a true circumcision in the hearts of his people. His children will know him; he will give them new and transformed hearts, and he will remember their sins no more. Our boast therefore, can never be in anything we have achieved, but always, only in the gospel on which we stand.
