Micah 1:5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

Everywhere one spoke of worshipping God. But we know what Jeremiah thought of all this: “Did God command you to do these things? No! For God does not wish to be worshipped in accordance with human fancy” [see Jeremiah 6:19; Hence, whenever we insist on approaching God in a manner that we find good, we must not supposed that God is required to accept it. For anything that God has not commanded us to do, or put his stamp of approval upon, results in ages that can only be collected in heaven.

Therefore let us not be as blind as we were  in the days of our ignorance. For so long as humanity is disposed towards this vice, with all its abominations, then so much the more must we note with diligence these passages, in which our Lord rejects everything forged along human lines. If we sincerely want to adopt the true order of worship that pleases God, then we have to pay heed to what God has commanded us. For if we follow only what seems best to us, without basing it on God’s Word, it will result in nothing but vanity and will constitute a true abomination on our part.
