Eli, the Prophet & Priest of God honored and blessed by the LORD to do the sacrifices & offerings to the LORD as religious works. Eli's two sons did not know the LORD and did sin against the LORD also was behaving very brutal towards the people those who come to offer their sacrifices.
Eli's son are corrupted, evil & wicked in the sight of the LORD
What is Eli's reaction?
Eli did listened to all the wrong doings through many witness & God warned him about it but Eli did not rebuke or straightened the way of his children
Eli as a person obeyed the LORD, but that obedience was not transforming the life of the children.
What good a man can do without influencing others. We have to transform other by our influences by showing them personally getting transform
Eli's life was finally miserable & questionable without doubt they suffered a terrible death & terrible testimonies till now they carry.
Eli's family is not attractive or good example for us
What about your life? Do you think yourself being modest & discipline makes is sufficient or your transformed life can you influence others also to honor LORD.
Living a spiritual life without influencing others is wasted
