This is a chapter full of spiritual instructions for the believer in the Lord Jesus today.
V.2 These people were so careless that they could not realize that God saw everything that was in their heart!
V.9 Only slowly did they slip away from the Lord. Were you once happy when you first came to know the Lord as your Savior? And do you now have no strength to resist temptation? Read this verse carefully.
V.10-14 Here is our answer. Come back to the Lord, and confess the sins we are going on with. Get into God’s presence alone. If we don’t, we won’t realize what we are really going on with. We may even think we are being good and living clean moral lives. That is good, but what about our religious associations? Does Scripture condemn what we are going on with? It is not what we say in the “Bible Reading Companion,” but what God says, to which each one of us is going to have to give account to God.
