Dear Steve, I think what I Sa. is saying is pretty much what I said……if you obey you don’t have to worry about the sacrifice …….God prefers the obedience over screwing up and having to offer a sin sacrifice. What is “the heart of faith”? What is living by ones faith? Israel was admonished for being "unfaithful" or "faithless" in not having “faithfully” followed the LORD’s commandments. “Unfaithfulness” is disobedience…….ergo “faith” is obedience. Hab 2:4 could be read….”the righteous shall live by his obedience.” Dt 32:20 "I will hide my face from them," he said, "and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.” Who are unfaithful children? Children who are without faith. Notice this verse is from “The Song of Moses” referred to in Rev 15:3. Check ya later……..Bub |

Hello Bub 1 Sa. is not saying "if you obey you don’t have to worry about the sacrifice." Not at all. Saul was offering a freewill sacrifice with something the Lord never wanted. It was basically offering strange fire. This had nothing to do with the required sacrifice for sins or trespasses. "What is 'the heart of faith'?" Philip. 3:9 (ESV) and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— "What is living by ones faith?" Faith is not obedience. Faith is evidenced (James 2:14-26) and increased (Luke 17:5-10) by obedience. Steve |
