Dig Deeper: Root of Formalism

I hate, I despise your feast days and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer Me burnt-offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them, neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs, for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
But let judgment run down as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5:21-24

"Unbelieving Israel,
---not having the righteousness which is of faith,
----and so not appreciating the great sacrifice that the Heavenly Father has made,
-----sought righteousness
....--by virtue of the offering itself
....--and because of the merit of presenting the offering."
