Bible Note: 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 |
