Numbers 5:1-31
‘The Lord said...’(1): Let us hear and obey His Word.
God is holy: His people are not to be defiled (3).
Sin is not merely moral.
It is spiritual.
It is not only a deviation from law.
It is an offence against God - ‘breaking faith with the Lord’(6).
God is holy: ‘Atonement’ is more than a provision for our need of forgiveness.
It is a ‘restitution... to the Lord’(8).
Christ’s atoning death does two things: (a) It meets the demands of God’s holiness.
(b) It meets our need of salvation.
We must not do ‘the wrong’ and ‘break faith with the Lord’(6-7).
We are to obey the Gospel call for ‘faith in our Lord Jesus Christ’: This is ‘repentance’.
We obey God’s ‘command...to repent’(Acts 20:21; 17:30).
No longer ‘trusting in ourselves that we are righteous’, we confess our sins and look to Christ for mercy (Luke 18:9,13).
Numbers 6:1-27
‘Separate... to the Lord,... Separate... from wine and strong drink’(2-3): These two thoughts are closely connected in the New Testament - ‘Do not get drunk with wine,... Be filled with the Spirit’(Ephesians 5:18).
We are to be ‘holy to the Lord’(8).
‘Consecrated to the Lord’, our whole life must be controlled by one thing: ‘Do all to the glory of God’(1 Corinthians 10:31).
Motivated by a desire for God’s glory, we will enjoy God's blessing (22-27).
God’s blessing is not a ‘cheap’ thing, something that doesn’t matter very much.
Remember Esau (Genesis 25:29-34).
He couldn’t be bothered.
He couldn’t care less.
God’s blessing meant nothing to him.
He didn’t want God’s blessing.
What did God do? - He gave it to Jacob.
‘The Lord bless you...’: Do you want this?
Or must God find somebody else?
