Why I Believe What I Believe
Day 86
Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:
God gave the children of Israel cities of refuge to protect
one from loosing their life. If a person by their own act caused a death
of another by accident, these cities were set up for their protection. No
one could enter those cities and bring judgment on this person. They were
to stay there and were safe as long as the priest of that day was alive. As
long as the priest was alive they could dwell in safety. God truth is His
mercy in giving us a city of refuge from the judgment. As long as our
Priest is alive we are safe from judgment. The LORD is our priest and He
will never die. We are safe forever.
Num 35:10-15 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for
you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the
avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in
judgment.
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye
have for refuge.
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three
cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of
refuge.
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the
children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them:
that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
Num 35:29-32 So these things shall be for a statute
of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death
by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person
to cause him to die.
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a
murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to
the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until
the death of the priest.
Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:
This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in
your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical
ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important
to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.
God never changes therefore by His priesthood we are secure
for eternity. We can trust The Lord because of who He is.
Heb 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew
unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it
by an oath:
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible
for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to
lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both
sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus,
made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
