"...So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him." - Leviticus 4 V35

"Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God." - Romans 8 V27

In the early days, before Christ died for our sins, the priest in Israel was required to make atonement for the sins of men. Men were required to bring a sacrifice to the altar and the priest sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice before the Lord, in front of the veil. The animal  sacrifice that was made was a temporary remedy for the forgiveness of sins and it would have never reconciled us with God. Jesus Christ came into this world to pay for our sins once and for all. He was sinless and only He was worthy to pay the sacrifice with His own death on the cross and thus we need not make any more animal sacrifices for now Christ intercedes for us before the Father. Christ intercedes for all who have accepted Him and received Him in their hearts. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins and praise God our salvation is paid in full and all we now need to do is trust in our Saviour and serve Him alone. Praise the Lord.

"Do not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease!" - Proverbs 23 V4

"What profit has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun?" - Ecclesiastes 1 V3

God has created each one of us for His glory. We are here by no accident as some claim, but everything in this world was created by God for a purpose. In our world today people want to become rich fast. While it is not bad to be a rich person, it is bad when we give priority to our riches and take the glory for ourselves. Remember, every good thing comes from God and all things work well for those who trust God. We live in a very busy world and every second counts here, but as the children of God, let us not move our focus away from Jesus and in everything we do let us do it for His honour and glory. Praise the Lord!

"...Daughter be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace." - Luke 8 V48

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11 V1

Typical human nature is to first see and then believe but God called us to first believe in Him and then we shall see. Without salvation a person is spiritually blind but when he is transformed to a born again person, he sees the truth. One day we will all see the Son of Man in His glory. Like the woman who touched the hem of Christ's garment, we all need to approach the Saviour by faith because without faith it is impossible to please God. Christ was not angry with the woman but He was pleased with her faith and so He will be with anybody who accepts Him by faith. Praise the Lord!

"If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." - 1 Corinthians 3 V17

"Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!" - 1 Corinthians 6 V15

When we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and invited Him to dwell in our hearts, we became a new creature and our bodies became the holy temple of God. God has come to dwell in the hearts of men who loved Him and received Him. Don't let temptation or anything make us defile our bodies and let us keep our hearts clean and let the God of this universe find it good to dwell in our hearts.
