God did not overlook sin in Israel, His chosen, why would we think He will overlook it in us?
Jeremiah 2:19-22
" “Your own wickedness will correct you, And your apostasies will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter For you to forsake the Lord your God, And the dread of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord [a]God of hosts.
" “Your own wickedness will correct you, And your apostasies will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter For you to forsake the Lord your God, And the dread of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord [a]God of hosts.
20 “For long ago I broke your yoke And tore off your bonds;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’ For on every high hill
And under every green tree You have lain down as a harlot.
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’ For on every high hill
And under every green tree You have lain down as a harlot.
21 “Yet I planted you a choice vine, A completely faithful seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me Into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
How then have you turned yourself before Me Into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
22 “Although you wash yourself with lye And [c]use much soap,
The stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares the Lord God."
The stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares the Lord God."
