Chapter 10 Correct relationship with God
1. maintain religious purity
In rebuilding the nation, the first thing the Israelites began was to firmly conclude a covenant with the Lord in a right relationship. They signed specifically. In addition, we will decide three things to actually start a life that walks according to the law.
1) Religious purity (not marrying a person of a different religion) (v. 30).
2) Observe the Sabbath (do not buy or sell on the Sabbath, keep the rules of the Sabbath year) (verse 31)
3) Observing worship with offerings (one-third of a shekel, firstfruits, tenth) (vv. 32-29)
Preserving religious purity was their first and foremost priority as they centered on the God of Israel. In fact, marriage is a lifelong solidarity. It is obvious that it is difficult to maintain a relationship with people who have diametrically opposed values, let alone religions. Since the Bible gives the correct answer from the beginning, it may be difficult for some people to accept the correct answer obediently. But the Word of God is worth listening to.
In fact, when you are young, you may not be able to see the future and get married on the spur of the moment. However, there is no need to give up on life and label yourself as a failure. Even if others see it that way, the Bible promises a new life based on repentance. God is merciful and never forsakes people. Even if you find it difficult to maintain the purity of your faith while having a spouse of a different religion, you should accept the reality and expect God to develop a new life out of it.
2. keep the sabbath
It is also important to keep the Sabbath, and in a life of faith, it is important not only to have a negative side, but also to have a positive side, which is to do. The biggest change for Japanese people after becoming a Christian is going to church every Sunday. Before I became a believer, it was normal for me to decide what time was meaningful to me on Sunday and spend it however I wanted. But for the believer, Sunday is the day God calls us to worship, the day God speaks to keep that day as rest. In other words, a life rhythm centered on God is created. It is not an obligation that is created through conscious effort, but is a joyful start to the week in the right relationship with God.
3. offering
The second half talks about what should be offered. Why they gave is important. After returning from the Persian Empire and rebuilding the country, they hoped for self-sufficiency. Since they were under the rule of the Persian Empire, they could have depended on its economic support forever. Instead, they hoped to remain economically independent.
For the time being, what was needed was to operate the temple in the rebuilt country. So they collected donations to support the services of the temple, especially the life of the priests, the gatekeepers and the singers. Importantly, their temples were run by paid staff rather than volunteers. And the paid staff also gave a tithe out of what they were given. In other words, no one was free riding. The mission of the church is the joint work of pastors and church members. And I would like to think of the blessing of the church equals the blessing of the nation, as the church fulfills its mission and the community in which the church is located becomes rich. I hope you have a good day today.
<Quiz corner>
First, yesterday's quiz. What do Israelites wear as a sign of sorrow and mourning? (1) sackcloth, (2) linen, (3) camel's hair garment, the answer was (1) sackcloth. Sackcloth is a black coarse cloth woven from goat's hair that is used to mourn when Jacob is told of Joseph's death (Genesis 37:34), during times of national disaster (Daniel 9:3). , was worn in times of mourning, and became a sign of it. So for today's Bible quiz, which Greek coin was said to be worth as much as the Roman denarius? (1) Shekel, (2) drachma, (3) stater, the answer will be tomorrow. I hope you have a good day today.
