Statements of Faith
I affirm that Jesus Christ is my Savior. I believe in the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death through His shed blood, bodily resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of the Father. I profess faith in one true God—self-existent and eternal—in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I hold that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, delivered through His servants, the prophets. I believe in the forgiveness of sins through personal salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, I believe in sanctification through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, and in the pursuit of personal holiness and purity of heart.

“Every high priest is selected from among the people and appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. Therefore, he must offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for the sins of the people.” (Hebrews 5:1)

The LORD said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your family shall bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the sanctuary, and you and your sons alone shall bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the priesthood.” (Numbers 18:1)

This passage emphasizes that Aaron and his descendants are accountable for any failure, sin, or irreverence concerning God’s holy sanctuary and priestly duties. To “bear the iniquity” or responsibility means they serve as accountable guardians, maintaining holiness so that God’s judgment does not fall upon the rest of Israel. The priesthood was held exclusively by Aaron and his direct descendants, who alone bore strict accountability for ritual errors or misuse of the altar.

It is essential to understand that Jesus alone bore the responsibility for offenses related to the sanctuary—not His mother or His family. When asked why we do not pray to the Virgin Mary, the answer is clear: every high priest is chosen from among the people because he can sympathize with them, being subject to weakness himself. The high priest represents the people in matters concerning God and the sanctuary.

Jesus Christ became flesh—fully human—so that He might empathize with our daily lives and challenges. When you speak to Jesus about life’s matters, you are not addressing someone who does not understand you. Jesus is our Guardian who stands in the gap for us. Love Him and praise Him. Amen.

Fear the Lord. Deut, 10:12-15, And now, Israel, what does  the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good ? To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations as it is today.❤️❤️🙏🙏🌹🌹💯💚💚⛪.

Blessings for Obedience Part A: Deuteronomy 28:1-14
Objective: To fully embrace and receive the blessings described in this passage. ❤️❤️🌹🌹🥀🥀🙏🙏
Beginner to Intermediate Lesson: Deut. 28:1: Read: “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.” All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: meditation and inspiration.

This passage conveys that if the Israelites sincerely listen to God’s voice and faithfully follow His instructions, God will honor them by elevating them above all other nations in strength, respect, and leadership. “Fully obey” means attentive listening and wholehearted compliance with God’s commands, without reservation. To “follow carefully” signifies diligent observance of God’s laws and consistent application in daily life. Being “set on high” denotes exaltation with honor, stability, and divine favor. These profound blessings depend entirely on the choice of obedience. Faithful conduct results in a life that reflects God’s goodness to the world.

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, as will the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and when you go out.

These divine promises carry a clear condition: they are part of God’s assurance of comprehensive well-being and success, granted only if one listens to God and obeys His commands. “The fruit of your womb” refers to healthy offspring and safe childbirth. All will dwell in security, experiencing prosperity both in urban centers and rural fields. Your crops will flourish abundantly, yielding a hundredfold, and your livestock will thrive. You will live safely wherever you are, enjoying success and peace in all your endeavors and travels.

The LORD will cause the enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They will advance against you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
Meaning and Definition: When formidable enemies unite and attack from a single front, God will decisively defeat them so completely that they scatter in “seven directions.” The LORD will dispatch His commander and army to pursue and utterly destroy them. This total disarray signifies complete ruin, not merely a retreat. Most Christian leaders interpret the number seven as symbolizing completeness or perfection. Thus, fleeing in seven directions represents utter chaos and defeat. This divine protection underscores a sudden and decisive reversal, where a concentrated threat is shattered and rendered powerless. Amen.

The LORD will bless your barns and everything you undertake. The LORD your God will bless you in the land He is giving you. The LORD will establish you as His holy people, as He promised by oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in obedience to Him.
Meaning and Definition: Deuteronomy 8:18-20 states, “But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, confirming His covenant, which He swore to your ancestors, as it is today. If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed, just as the nations the LORD destroyed before you.” These divine promises are conditional: God pledges to grant material prosperity and establish His chosen nation if they obey His law. “Barns” or “storehouses” in ancient agricultural society held all harvested grain; a blessed barn signifies abundance and no scarcity. The LORD promises success in every endeavor you undertake. He will provide for your physical needs and daily life. God will firmly establish your identity and security. However, these blessings require obedience and will manifest only if the people listen to God and follow His commands.

Verses 9-10: “Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.”
Meaning: This indicates that God’s people openly bear His ownership, authority, and character. When others observe how God blesses and protects His people for their obedience, they recognize that God claims this nation as His own. Exodus 19:4-6 states, “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now if you obey Me fully and keep My covenant, then out of all nations you will be My treasured possession. Although the whole earth is Mine, you will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites. Ownership and identity: God places His name on His people just as a maker’s mark identifies the creator of an item or a family name signifies belonging to a household. Thus, God publicly demonstrates His work in the lives of those who follow Him; it is evident to the entire world. “Fear” here denotes respect and reverence. Observers recognize that a higher, holy power supports God’s people, inspiring awe. This content is part of the blessings promised to Israel upon full obedience to God’s laws. Amen.
