God doesn’t change. He may change His mind, but His character never changes. This holds true to those who have no heart for Him. Without repentance, and trust in Jesus (surrendering themselves to the Lord), no foreigner will ever enter into God’s sanctuary. It’s impossible to please God without making Jesus Lord of your life.
7 You have brought uncircumcised foreigners into My sanctuary–people who have no heart for God. In this way, you defiled My Temple even as you offered Me My food, the fat and blood of sacrifices. In addition to all your other detestable sins, you have broken My covenant. 8 Instead of safeguarding My sacred rituals, you have hired foreigners to take charge of My sanctuary.9 “So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: No foreigners, including those who live among the people of Israel, will enter My sanctuary if they have not been circumcised and have not surrendered themselves to the Lord.
