Isaiah 1:16-17

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Repeatedly in Scripture, the Lord tells us that He has no desire for half-hearted religious ritual. Instead, He greatly desires for our hearts to be on fire for Him—for us to joyfully love Him and love others in His name.

God is always after the heart, not mere outward religious expression. He wants sincere prayer, not impressive oratory (Matt. 6:7). He wants genuine devotion, not self-righteous declarations (Luke 18:9–14). God wants your heart—your love, adoration, gratefulness, and obedience—because His highest priority for your life is a deep, intimate relationship with Himself.

Read all of Isaiah 1
