In Amos 7, Amos receives visions from God of coming plagues of judgment in response to His people choosing to worship sin, evil, and false gods. God is holy and pure and perfect and cannot let sin go unpunished. In His mercy and grace, He sent us Jesus so we can have the option to apply the blood Jesus shed for each of us to our lives and be seen as holy and righteous before our Lord. Amos pleaded and interceded for the lost. We should be praying and interceding for revival and for hearts to turn to God continually. When we repent of sin, receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior and submit to God's divine and perfect powerful authority, our lives change. We look and act different out of our love for God and our desire to honor Him in all we do. Our hearts are circumcised and grafted into the heart of Jesus - our Deliverer - our Savior. Sin is sin and we all have sin we need to repent of and give to Jesus who already died for all of it. We aren't perfect, but we are forgiven, cleansed, and changed into a whole new life - a new person - all because of God's overwhelming love for each and every one of us.
