Love For Israel 97
[Mal 1:1-14]
/ Anne's Faith Column
/ By Priscilla
God's love for Israel is different
from human way of love.
Humans are so foolish that they
do not know what to do in
order to worship God.
God revealed His heart and
will mostly through prophets.
The prophets told Israelites
that God loved them.
However, Israelites asked God
when and how He loved them.
God loves us just
the way we are today.
Just as he loved t
he elect, Israelites,
God loves us and reveals the
revelation of the Scripture to us
under the light of the Holy Spirit.
Our God, the Most High!
God, who loves us forever,
wants our hearts to be sincere as
our sacrifices are like a clean
animal as a burnt offering.
God wants our hearts,
not any form.
Just as God
ignored burnt offerings
when they sacrificed crippled
or diseased animals,
He doesn't want someone
whose spirit is taken away
by the world.
Therefore, since those who
sacrifice thank offerings honor
Almighty God, He tells us
to come before Him with
a joyful spirit.
Because we are His creatures.
Therefore,
we should go forward humbly,
giving thanks to God, who said,
“To obey is
better than sacrifice.”
(1 Sam 15:22-23).
So, we will have to look back
on all the works of God in the past.
Among the nations from the
rising to the setting of the sun,
controlled by Almighty God,
we have an obligation to glorify
God and sanctify His name.
So what should we do?
1) We should truly honor
God with our hearts.
2) We should become those
who offer sacrifices with
thanksgiving.
3) We must love God deeply f
rom the heart.
Prayer
Lord!
I stand before the Lord at this
time with a very troubled spirit.
Like God's love for Israel,
I am touched by the love that
has come to me as a light by
helping and guiding me.
Please help me,
help me out!
Amen
Amen
