In response to the spiritual decline of Judah, which prophet delivered the famous ‘Temple Sermon’?
Explanation
Jeremiah stood at the temple entrance and told people that just going to the temple would not save them. He said God wanted changed hearts, not empty religious routines.
The people trusted the temple building for protection while living sinful lives. Jeremiah warned this fake faith would not work when judgment came.
His Temple Sermon shows that God values true obedience over religious appearances.
