For centuries, Judah had been defiant toward God, even though He had made Himself known to them and given them His Law--a situation that is very similar to the world in 2024. Knowing that we need righteousness but can't secure it, God chose to show mercy and become our righteousness through Jesus Christ. In response, it is vital that we consecrate ourselves and live in the sanctification that only He can provide...and willingly does.  Video of this service is also available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9aR76il_B0&t=3959s
