Title: Source of Blessing
Contents
▷ God is the source of blessing that brings blessings to all people. Now I have to examine myself to see if I am living with the blessings that God has given me. If you have been blessed, and if the blessing is the result, there must be a cause that deserves the blessing. What is that?
▷ Source of Blessing The cause of receiving the blessings that God gives to people is living according to God's will. The will of God is the word of God. The Word of God is the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. Those who see, read, and hear the Bible with faith and keep what is written in them. God, the source of blessings, grants us all things. Abraham's Source of Blessing As a result of living according to God's word, he himself became a source of blessing. Because God, the source of blessing, was in him. People like Isaac, Joseph, David, and Solomon all had the same faith as Abraham, so they followed Abraham as a source of blessing.
▷ Then, what is the specific source of blessing that God is with you? It is for the Israelites to build an altar and to commemorate the name of the Lord, just as Abraham did. It is believing that God has saved us from our sins and suffering from the past until now and that He will help us in the future.
▷ The altar that God has commanded is ‘earth altar’. It is to offer burnt offerings and peace offerings on this altar. The burnt offering is to repent of what you did not buy according to the word of God. The reconciliation offering is to no longer disobey or oppose God's word, but to obey it thoroughly and live a life of being one with God.
▷ He told me to cut the earthen floor with a chisel and build it with unpolished stones and soil. This means that we should not intend with the human heart to be pleasing to the naked eye, but only follow the pure word of God, regardless of whether people praise it or not. This means that prayers and worship should be conducted purely according to the Bible. Believe that Jesus' death on the cross became a burnt offering and peace offering to atone for our sins, and pray and worship.
▷ If you do that, God will give such people full blessings like Abraham. Now we must do this.
