Leviticus 6:30. “And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.”
FOR GOD ONLY. When God makes it plain what His will is for you; Be sure you don’t make some strange change. His plans are immutable, we dare not intrude Into places God only can claim.
Far too often men have imposed On ground too holy for them. For whoever we are, we dare not suppose Ourselves and our lives free from sin.
The place where God dwells, is sanctified-wholly; There’s no way to approach without blood. For me to partake of what belongs to God only; Is so wrong, I would die if I did.
But in grace, God comes out to us to make clear, His interest in the lives that we live. When He calls us to Him, in His word we can hear, What we can then to Him freely give.
It has long been revealed that God’s great desire, Is to have fellowship and joy with all men. He has moved out to us that He might reconcile When we “failures” will come back to Him.
The blood of the sacrifice had to be shed, That there could be redemption ground. On the basis of the Sinless One that bled, We can draw near to where grace does abound.
When the fact is made plain, we’ve been reconciled; God has accepted us fully in Christ. Now instead of fear and of prayers being denied; God has come near and accepted our trust.
No, we are not intruders on His holy ground, Here’s the place where He calls us to come. We live our new life where grace now abounds;
Where God lives – we live, this is our home
“It is a wonder to me Father God: that Thou hast called me to come to Thee. The ground I walk on by nature; certainly, is not holy ground. But when I consider the cost of the sacrifice and the altar on which it was laid - I can see that there is not one other thing to be added or taken from that. Please keep me from ever taking for granted, the Person of that offering. I am preparing my heart now for the gathering of Thy people tomorrow to remember Him. We will be on special, holy ground. Draw near to us and let us draw near to Thee in a way that is respectful, God-honoring and yet full of holy joy. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
