How so loved we are by God. So loved that He never gives up on us. We are blessed because of His love and His acceptance of us. In Leviticus chapters 1 through 9, we see the many different types of offerings and sacrifices that had to be made to keep us in union with God. So many are our sins that God provisioned for our cleansing and union with Him. Now and today, we have but only one sacrifice to make which is giving our lives to Christ and yielding to Him as Lord and Savior. Compared to the previous many offerings and sacrifices, is it that hard to make this new and everlasting commitment? With as much love, mercy and forgiveness we have received, could we give what we have received to others who offend us? Isn’t it great to feel accepted or forgiven by God? So forgive also those who offend you.
Leviticus 9:24
24 Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
