Right Responsibility
““You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” Amos 3:2, 7 NKJV
Those who believe in creation are usually aware of holiness and dominion as the original responsibility for the entire human existence. But after the fall of man, this responsibility has been shifted only to the redeemed of the Lord. Like the children of Israel in the Old Testament, the redeemed of the Lord have access to divine revelation, the understanding of the counsels of God, and the privilege of an intimacy relationship and fellowship with God. Therefore, when the scriptures proclaimed God’s verdict on the basis of “You only have I known of all the families of the earth“, it underscores the right responsibility of believers in our corrupt, compromising, and confused world. Therefore, every believer’s responsibility is not limited to the knowledge of God and the understanding of His counsels. Believers are called to teach and live the life of faith and righteousness by their conducts and practices among the people. The redeemed of the Lord are known by God to be known about God; this is merely the righteous revelation that breathed the right responsibility through every believer’s daily endeavour.
