Jeremiah 1:16

Jeremiah 1:16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Their sins

1. Forsaken me.

That is, they have known but turned away. Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

2. Burned incense

This is to please the gods. There is only one God. We should seek to please Him. Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

3. Worshipped the work of their own hands.

Basically we worship what we want to worship--ourselves. We choose what to worship--what is comfortable, pleasing, appealing, and serves us well. It will leave us without guilt, sorrow, or troubles.

This is all false. We will a slave to this type of god. We will still have guilt, sorrow, and troubles, for "(Isaiah 57:21) There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked."

Will we turn away, be unthankful, and worship idols?
