Shlach L’kha “Send on your behalf” Pt 7: Numbers 15:21-41
God (Yahveh) calls us to choose to obey Him as our Lord, our Redeemer, and our Father. When there was deliberate rebellion – when someone chose to defy Him and reject Him – they were cut off. But Yahveh also forgives error, and made provision for us to remember His instructions so that we would not stray so far.
We get twisted up inside, we err, we sin. Yeshua came to heal us of our twistedness (aven) and sin (chet). But Hebrews 6:1-8 reminds us that if we rebel against Him and reject Yehsua as Lord and Savior, we have no place to go to be delivered.
So let us stay faithful to Him, not taking our salvation as an excuse to sin, or obsessing on our own good behavior (even though good behavior is good), but seeking to bear the fruit of the Siprit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control, which is the goal and purpose of Torah, and the true reason for our observance (Galatians 5:22).
