 And in a similar way, we could also do kind of like what Eli has done and just not take our role as representatives of the Lord seriously. And we end up creating a distorted picture of God in other people's minds. If we live according just to our appetites and just do whatever we feel like doing, we don't show what God is like. We just put on a show of sinful nature. There's enough of that out in the world. People need to see God in us. A priest is there to represent God to the people.
