Charles Spurgeon Commentary Amos 5:4

"For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live;" — Amos 5:4 (ASV)

And that is just the message of God to professing Christians now: Seek ye me. Get away from your mere ceremonies, from trusting in your outward performances, and get to God himself. Get beyond your fellow-worshippers and your ministers, beyond your sanctuaries and your supposed holy places, and get in spirit and in truth to God himself: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.
