Can the Ethiopian change his
skin
or the leopard its
spots?
Neither can you do
good
who are accustomed to doing
evil.
Jeremiah 13:23
Footnote: Not even the threat of captivity
could move the people to repent. The people had become so accustomed to doing
evil that they had lost their ability to change. God never rejects
those who sincerely turn to him. God is warning them to repent before
it becomes impossible to change. We must never put off until tomorrow those
changes God wants us to make. Our attitudes and patterns for living can become
so set that we will lose all desires to change and will no longer fear the
consequences.
