Jeremiah 5:24-25

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.

Most of today's culture teaches that God is only love and kindness and that He wants to bless everyone. However, this is not the truth. In Jeremiah 5:24-25, the prophet explains that in order to receive blessings we are to lead lives that Fear God. This doesn't mean we are to be physically afraid of God. It means we are to love Him above all else and are to respect Him in all things. This verse teaches that in order to receive anything from God, we must turn away from our sins.
