Fear God because of His holiness (part three)

 

the irony of truth in relation to the holiness of God is that, “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1John 1:5-7).

Please note carefully that, the cleansing that takes place in order to have fellowship with the Father and the Son and with one another through the blood of Jesus Christ is current, it is something that transpires during the fellowship service and it is critical because, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness: If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1John 5:8-10).

It is also very important to note that, according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission because, the life of the flesh is in the blood, and God has given it to us upon the altar to make atonement for our souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul” (Hebrews 9:22; Leviticus 17:11).

It is also imperative to note that the main objective for having a holy convocation is to offer the Lord the food for His offerings, For thus says the Lord; “These are the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day.”

We should note carefully that offering the Lord the food for His offerings is besides or in addition to observing the Sabbaths of the LORD, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the LORD” (Leviticus 23:37-38).

Each appointed feast or holy convocation commemorates an event which the Lord has made in His master plan for the salvation of humanity, and they also foreshadows things to come.
