Neeli

1. John was aware that many of the Jews were self-serving and not righteous, as they would have others believe, thinking only of themselves and having no concern for their fellow mankind. They were sheep in wolves clothing. Their lot in life was prosperity for themselves no matter what means was used to achieve this thus committing sins of greed, dishonesty, love of self, not obeying God’s commandments. 6 Discontentment with our lot could cause some of us to forget that we should continue to have faith in our God and just continue to pray for his intercession. Instead it causes us to become depressed and turn to whatever it takes to take away the discontent. Often we commit deeds that are not righteous in God’s eyes.
