Get ready to start a journey…a journey through the pages of the Bible and the pages of your life.
Just as God provided a way to stop the spread of sin, so he instructed his people on how to avoid the spread of infection and disease. Reading through these laws gives me a new appreciation for God’s gracious care, his thorough protection, and his practical love.
While we will never live sinless lives on this earth, it is possible, by the strength of the Spirit, to sin less and obey more. That’s the high standard to which God has called his children. And that should be the desire of his children.
God’s commands are based on His omniscience and His perfect will. There are always consequences when we refuse to follow his instructions. True worship and submission to God begin with an attitude of “Lord, you know best. Please give me the strength and determination to follow your instruction.”
If you have the needed information, speak up! When you don’t your silence is sin.
The death of Jesus on our behalf brings forgiveness and reconciles us with the Holy God. Amazing, isn’t it? Wherever you are in the Old Testament, God the Father is preparing us for God the Son.
What a response to God! What generosity! Remember these were “freewill offerings” the people were bringing. They were giving voluntarily from a heart of worship in response to God’s amazing love and grace. How are you doing with your freewill offerings?
