Bible Note: 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 |
