Introduction 1. Jer. 6:16 God calls men to the old paths— few make the right choice 16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. 2

Introduction 2. Jer. 6:13-17 People, prophets, & priests were guilty of ignoring God’s Word 3

13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 4

2. Jer. 6:13-17 People, prophets, & priests were guilty of ignoring God’s Word 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 5

2. Jer. 6:13-17 People, prophets, & priests were guilty of ignoring God’s Word 16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

I. Identify the Old Paths A. God’s Way Is Revealed in His Word Jer. 23:16-17 False teachers substitute their own word for God’s revealed Word 10

Jer. 23:16-17 False teachers substitute their own word for God’s revealed Word Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

I. Identify the Old Paths B. God’s Way Has Been Followed by the Faithful Heb. 11:7-8 Heroes of faith followed His Word 12

Heb. 11:7-8 Heroes of faith followed His Word 13 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

I. Identify the Old Paths D. God’s Way Brings Peace to Our Souls Matt. 11:28-30 Christ calls sinners to find peace in him & his word 16

Matt. 11:28-30 Christ calls sinners to find peace in him & his word Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

II. Seek the Old Paths A. God Seeks Us, We Must Seek Him Jer. 6:10, God seeks men without forcing them to obey Him 18

Jer. 6:10, God seeks men without forcing them to obey Him To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

II. Seek the Old Paths B. God Sent His Son to Call Us to Repent Acts 17:27-31 God rules the world so that we can seek & find Him in Christ 22

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 23 Acts 17:27-31 God rules the world so that we can seek & find Him in Christ

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 24 Acts 17:27-31 God rules the world so that we can seek & find Him in Christ

III. Only Few Walk in the Old Paths B. Few Obeyed God in the Mosaic Age Jer. 23:3 The Lord saved a remnant of the Jews, through whom Christ came 27

3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 28 Jer. 23:3 The Lord saved a remnant of the Jews, through whom Christ came

III. Only Few Walk in the Old Paths C. Few Obey in the Gospel Age Matt. 7:13-14 Jesus said only few will repent & walk in the way of salvation Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
