Date:Sunday February 04,2012Today'sChapters:Leviticus25-27 (http://thesaviorjesuschrist.com/bible-reading-february-05.php)
Hello My Friend,
Have you accepted JesusChrist as your Savior? Was there a time that you said in some form,“God, I admit I am a sinner, I believe that Your Son died to pay mysin debt, and that He arose from the dead to give me life too. I askYou to save me and from this moment on I am depending only on Him formy salvation. Amen.” If you said something like that than you are asinner saved by grace and child of the One And Only Living God. “Thatif thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shaltbelieve in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thoushalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”-Romans 10:9,10. Praise God! Regardless of whether you said thatprayer today or forty years ago, you are a child of God. Have youmessed up since then? Sure you have, we all have, but you areredeemed and God has restored you, not only that You will receive aninheritance that no one can take from you.
God gave specificinstructions to the Jews on how they were to behave when they gotinto the promised land. But knowing the flesh He came up the withyear of jubile. Theyear of jubile would be a time of restoration, ayearlongperiodto be observed by the Jews once every fifty years,duringwhichJewish slaves were to be set free, alienatedlandswereto be restored to their original owner or anheir,and all agriculturallabors wereto be suspendeduntil the next year. “Andye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughoutall the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubileunto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and yeshall return every man unto his family. A jubile shall that fiftiethyear be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which growethof itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat theincrease thereof out of the field...And in all the land of yourpossession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. If thy brotherbe waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if anyof his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which hisbrother sold.”- Leviticus 25:10-12,24,25..
The kinsman redeemer is anillustration of Jesus Christ who took on our nature in order to beour next of kin to redeem a piece of land for our inheritance in theKingdom of God, which we forfeited through sin. Jesus, who is ourRedeemer, restores us when we receive Him. “Blessedbe the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according tohis abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by theresurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritanceincorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved inheaven for you,”-1 Peter 1:3,4.
We should never disregard nor take forgranted the wonderful gift that God has given us, while obeying Godhas nothing to do with our salvation, it has everything to do withhonoring and respecting Him for giving His life for us. Keep in mind, Jesus died once on the cross, that means we only have to ask Himonce to save us. No matter what we have done or will do in the futurewe are still saved. Now, that does not mean that we will not face anychastisement for future sin, but it does mean that you are saved bygrace alone and that you will not lose your inheritance in theKingdom of God. “Forby grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: itis the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”- Ephesians 2:8,9.
Godpromises the Jews if they obey His commands, He will continue tobless them, but if they disregard them they can expect to face someconsequences, in fact, they will be seven times more severe. “Ifye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then Iwill give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield herincrease, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit...And ifye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, sothat ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break mycovenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over youterror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume theeyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain,for your enemies shall eat it. AndI will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before yourenemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall fleewhen none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearkenunto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.”- Leviticus 26:3,4,15-18.
Whenwe allow Christ to live through us it only gets better, however,those who choose to live the same life they lived before they gotsaved with no intention of repenting are going to face some serioustribulations. While God wants to see everyone trust in His Son fortheir salvation, He will not stand for a person receiving Him for thesake of remaining in their sinful life. Jesus said, “Iknow thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wertcold or hot.Sothen because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spuethee out of my mouth.Becausethou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need ofnothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, andpoor, and blind, and naked:Icounsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest berich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, andthattheshame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes witheyesalve, that thou mayest see.Asmany as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, andrepent.Behold,I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and openthe door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he withme.”- Revelation 3:15-20.
God foretold to the severe punishmentthe Jews would receive if they did not walk in His statutes andcommands.“Andif ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I willbring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. Iwill also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of yourchildren, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; andyour high ways shall be desolate. And if ye will not be reformed byme by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I alsowalk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for yoursins.”- Leviticus 26:21-24.
Once in a while I will get someonequoting Bible verses like these to me, claiming that God is cruel andwill strike you down if you do not do exactly what He says. That isjust absurd. All the events that took place happened because they didthe very things He warned them not to do. God does not give uscommands so we cannot live He gives so we can live. The things thatthese people did to get God that angry were things that would angerus. And let me tell you, God is more forgiving than we are, I didsome pretty cruel things to people out of anger before I repented ofthe life I lived in the world. People reap what they sow, andunfortunately innocent people get tangled up in the reaping, but Godwill get the vengeance upon anyone who hurts His child. “Dearlybeloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: forit is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give himdrink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Benot overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”-Romans 12:19-21.
Today'sPsalm:49:16 - “ButGod will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shallreceive me. Selah.”
Today'sProverb: 23:11 - “Fortheir redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.”
Today'sPrayer:God, it is because of the great love of Your Son, Jesus, and Hiswillingness to take on our sins to redeem us that we can receive Yourinheritance. It is truly amazing, the love You have for me andeveryone, when I was lost, broken, and without hope, You took me in,You accepted me, and You made me one of Yours. Lord, I want to begrateful and honor You as Your child, lead me and guide me tounderstand and obey Your statutes and commands. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Enjoythe rest of your day/night. GodBless You, I am praying for you,
Christina
