It's always been amazing to me that even in the Old Testament God called for His people to be a holy people, may I say to all reading this message, we've got to be a holy people if we expect to get into and live in God's presence. In Old Testament times a priest's failure to wash his hands in the bronze laver was punishable by death because everything that had anything to do with the tabernacle was to be holy (Exodus 30:20), you see, God's looking for holy people even today, (Hebrews 12:14). The priest having clean hands symbolized the provision that Jesus made for each of us that truly repents and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. We are cleansed and made new creatures through God's holy word, (1 Pet. 1:22, 23). No man is qualified according to God's word to go into God's presence without clean hands and a pure heart. (Job 17:9) is a great scripture that lets us know as we live holy, that we can be stronger and stronger, Praise God. Read these great scriptures and let God speak to you, James 4:7; Ps. 26:6, 7; 2 Sam. 22:21, Praise God for His word. Through Christ, Pastor Durden |
