Title: Offer your first baby 15 .hwp
We sustain our life on this earth through God's mercy and mercy. Therefore, as those who enjoy God's great love and grace, we should also show love to those around us. The text commands God's people to look out for each other, support each other, and provide for their needs.
1. Always be practically prepared with a heart to help the poor (7).
Wealth and poverty are relative concepts, not absolute concepts. That is, they are too poor to help others at all.
There is no law So, as long as we have the heart to help others as God wants us to. You can do such a thing, and you will find the target.
2. To provide abundantly with the needs and wants of the poor neighbors (8).
True love's help isn't just throwing what we have left to others. It is not the act of properly disposing of what we no longer need, but the act of replenishing what the other person desperately needs is the true touch of love.
3. Do not have a self-interested attitude (9,10).
It is not God's will for us to do relief actions that we have to do out of a sense of stinginess or face.
(2 Corinthians 9:7) Let each one do what he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. It's just a mean act of trying to buy honor and respect with a few pieces of money, not a hand.
Helping the poor is not our option, it is our responsibility and obligation (11). We need to think about what the Lord of the Second Coming will say to us when he speaks (Matthew 25:31-46).
4. Offer the first engraving (Deuteronomy 15:19-23)
Why was it said that the first-born male of a cow should be sacrificed to God? Why is it that the firstborn of a cow is not allowed to be groomed and the firstborn of a sheep is not sheared? This was closely related to the attitude of the Israelites in serving God.
5. Recognizing God as the Creator of all things in the universe. Everything in the world is created by God and belongs to Him.

is (Romans 11:36).
6. Recognizing God as the Savior of Israel. When the Israelites were saved from Egypt, the firstborn of the Egyptians and the firstborn of the beast were all killed, but the firstborn and firstborn of Israel were protected. Therefore, God commanded that the firstborn and the firstborn of his chosen people be consecrated and offered (Exodus 13:2).
The saints of today are also those who have been saved from sin and immediate death through the blood of Jesus Christ, so they must consecrate and dedicate themselves to God (1 Corinthians 6:20).
7. Recognizing God as the first sinner in life. Give the first one to God and take the next one yourself.
It means always putting God first in your life. In addition, it was widely recognized that the firstborn of an animal and the firstfruits of grain were sinful, so in the end, this also means offering the best and the best to God. This is the reason why it was forbidden to offer anything that was lame or blind because of a defect (21)
