Revelation 17 – Faithful To God Alone
Scripture: Revelation 17
Observation: John takes a break from his narrative of the judgment and takes us back again to take a look at what’s being judged. One of the main things is people’s commitment to and acceptance of false religions. The unfaithful prostitute of false religion has deceived a ton of people, but in the end, she is seen for who she is, turned on by her own people and destroyed.
Application: A lot of people are out there looking for a feel good religion. One that just features things that appeal to them and promise them health and wealth and happiness without any trouble. It’s easy to fall into that trap – after all, who wants to give up their own rights and freedom to follow God if they can find a way that teaches you can have God and whatever you want as well. Unfortunately, that kind of religion doesn’t fly with God, and while he may let it go for awhile, in the end, he’ll reveal it for what it is and have some harsh judgment for people who follow false religions instead of having true faith in and surrender to Christ.
Prayer: Don’t let me settle for the false promises of easy believing religion. Help me stay true to the commands and enjoy the promises that are found only in your Word.
