Are they saying "follow not after us" as in, he doesn't believe in you, he doesn't know who you are. Or, he is not following you, like we are? |
Could be all as you say combined. The whole issue is continuing trusting in Jesus.
Cain, and Abel were brothers who personally knew God. They both could hear God’s voice. Yet, in devotion they differed greatly. One was loving God in devotion. While the other just wanted to get his sacrifice accepted so he could get on with his life. While we all like to perceive ourselves as devoted to God. We don’t really focus on how He perceives us. Pretty sobering that He will ignore us while we are casting out demons and telling church visitors their names. All the while He is doing it because we won’t bad mouth him?
