Why I Believe What I Believe

Day 107

Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

We are to come to worship God offering a blemish free offering. We cannot change the truth of worship to something that just resembles a religious act. No reasonable facsimile will be accepted. Death comes to those who try to reach God their own way.

Deuteronomy 17:1-5, Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the Lord thy God. ²If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant, ³And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; ⁴And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: ⁵Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

Practical - Works that apply Biblical principle:

We cannot come to worship God when there is not unity of God’s people in worship. Looking like we are worshiping in church without being right with God and others is just like worshiping miniature idols of worship that is simply a facsimile of God but not the true One.

Matthew 5:23-24, Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; ²⁴Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
