You may understand it\nbetter with the following definitions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>form:<\/strong> <em>the process or activity\nof forming or shaping; specifically in reference to the Law as the source of\nknowledge and truth. This refers to the godliness, which is only a form and an\nexternal appearance.&nbsp; Such godliness is a\nsham and devoid of any real power to break the power of sin.<\/em>&nbsp; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>power:<\/strong> <em>true nature of\nsomething as opposed to just talking about something.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From this verse, we can\nunderstand that just because someone acts like they are \u201cgodly\u201d does not\nactually make them godly if they do not have Jesus in their heart. For someone\nto act \u201cgodly\u201d and not have Jesus, is someone who has denied the power (<em>true nature of something<\/em>) of Jesus in\none\u2019s life.&nbsp; It may look and sound real,\nbut it is not. We read in our key verse that we are to \u201cturn away\u201d from\nsomeone, or even things, like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emphasis:<\/strong> We are to know that it does not matter what anyone\nthinks, only what God\u2019s Word says: Jesus was the one promised from the\nbeginning of time \u2014 the only one who could restore our relationship with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lesson Summary: <\/strong>We have been studying the history of the Northern\n Kingdom, Israel.\nWe found they never had a good king. Each king followed in the steps of King\nJeroboam I, for we read the kings \u201ctook no heed to\nwalk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of\nJeroboam, which made Israel to sin\u201d (2 Kings 10:31).\nBecause each king led the nation to continue in the worship of idols (remember\nthe golden calves at Dan and Bethel),\nthe nation never was what God intended it to be. We also studied the prophets\nAmos and Hosea as they warned Israel\nto seek God and correct their worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this lesson, we will see why Israel needed Jesus. As we have learned, Israel had the form of worship (a religion) without the power (true nature) of that worship of God (remember today\u2019s memory verse). They still performed sacrifices, but they were to idols \u2014 not to God. Those sacrifices were to remind them of their sin, and that God would send One to remove that sin. Without the correct worship, they would never seek for their Messiah (which was Jesus). &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will remember many times God promised for their Messiah (which was Jesus) to come, if only the people had remembered to watch for Him. We will then look at the revealing of Jesus as the Promised One who would take away man\u2019s sin. Even in Jesus\u2019 day, the people misunderstood who he was, so Jesus told them to remember the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah was a witness to a lost city, Nineveh, Jesus was a witness to an evil generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Y2Q1-Lesson-13-Questions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Y2Q1 - Lesson 13 Questions (opens in a new tab)\">Y2Q1 &#8211; Lesson 13 Questions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Y2Q1-Lesson-13-Childrens-Worksheets.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Y2Q1 - Lesson 13 Children's Worksheets (opens in a new tab)\">Y2Q1 &#8211; Lesson 13 Children&#8217;s Worksheets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are teaching this to children, see a craft idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Y2Q1-Lesson-13-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1374\" srcset=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Y2Q1-Lesson-13-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Y2Q1-Lesson-13-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Y2Q1-Lesson-13-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>We cut out this shape of a heart, glued Hebrews 10:16 inside, and folded the heart closed to picture hiding &#8220;God&#8217;s Word&#8221; in one&#8217;s heart.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Verse Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.&nbsp; \u20142 Timothy 3:5 Key Verse Thought: Read today\u2019s key verse.
