Right Actions, Imperfect Heart

Commentators highlight that Amaziah's story is a classic example of someone doing the right things externally without full internal commitment. Matthew Henry describes this as being a 'cool and indifferent friend' to God. This serves as a powerful reminder for believers that God values not just our outward obedience, but the sincerity and devotion of our hearts.
