v.25 He said to Abraham, " Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed."
Do you (we) believe that you (we) will be all blessed?
YES - Why yes? Is that just simply because I am a human being on the earth? or I am the offspring from Abraham? Am I qualified?
YES and NO. God is our father who always gives us free choice (Luke 15:11-31 The Parable of the Lost Son). Are we taking the choice provided and honor our choice with responsibility?
What does God blessed us? and for what?
v.26 To bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways. 賜福 - 回轉 - 離開罪惡
We have to understand God's language. He is not talking about blessed with physical award. From the beginning till the end, He mostly cares our salvation from SIN not else.
If we do not see our SIN and admit it, we will never find His blessing valid with big treasure.
Again SIN in God's vocabulary is not about sin against the human law i.e. robbery, killing others etc. It is about our spiritual sin.
God use LOVE as a contradict teaching to us about SIN.
LOVE is patient - if we are not patient but frustrated and demanding, we will be in SIN.
LOVE is kind - if we are not kind but cruel in heart, we will be in SIN.
LOVE rejoice with the truth - if we neglect the truth, we will be in SIN.
LOVE is always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres - if we are judgmental, doubt, desparate and give up easily, we will be in SIN.
LOVE does not envy - if we accept others, we will be in LOVE
LOVE does not boast - if we humble, we will be in LOVE.
LOVE is not rude - if we are gentle, we will be in LOVE.
LOVE is not self-seeking - if we are caring others, we will be in LOVE.
LOVE is not easily angered - if we are calm and peaceful, we will be in LOVE.
LOVE keeps no record of wrongs - if we forgive and forget others' wrongs, we will be in LOVE.
LOVE does not delight in evil - if we are pure in heart, we will be in LOVE.
Does God has given us enough and clear guideline about how He wants to save us from.....
Do you (we) admit that we have those SIN. I do!!!!!!!!!
Usually when we admit our mistake(s), we do not want to stay in it and repeat it. We want to correct it and doing right in the future.
Does it reflects the same in SIN for us?
