God's People Know to Do Good


Jer 4:22 
“For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge.”

Do you know God in Christ, or do you struggle to understand and so do what is good in God's eyes, by His standards?  Jeremiah shows God telling the people that they are silly and foolish because these things prove they did not know Him.  Knowing God changes us to know and seek out what is good by His standards, and be simple concerning evil.  God's people know to do good because of His goodness to them and by His work in them. 

Rom 16:19   For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.
