We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God’s unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God’s love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son.
Jerry Bridges

If my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence of the promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken. We do not yield to the offer of sandwich meat when we can see the sizzling steak on the grill… At first lust tricks me into feeling that I would really miss out on some great satisfaction if I followed the path of purity. But then I take up the sword of the Spirit and begin to fight… And as I pray for my faith to be satisfied with God’s life and peace, the sword of the Spirit carves the sugar coating off the poison of lust… And by the grace of God, (lust’s) alluring power is broken.
John Piper

产妇洁净礼的条例
耶和华对摩西说:
「你晓谕以色列人说:若有妇人怀孕生男孩,她就不洁净七天,像在月经污秽的日子不洁净一样。
第八天,要给婴孩行割礼。
妇人在产血不洁之中,要家居三十三天。她洁净的日子未满,不可摸圣物,也不可进入圣所。
她若生女孩,就不洁净两个七天,像污秽的时候一样,要在产血不洁之中,家居六十六天。
「满了洁净的日子,无论是为男孩是为女孩,她要把一岁的羊羔为燔祭,一只雏鸽或是一只斑鸠为赎罪祭,带到会幕门口交给祭司。
祭司要献在耶和华面前,为她赎罪,她的血源就洁净了。这条例是为生育的妇人,无论是生男生女。
她的力量若不够献一只羊羔,她就要取两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽,一只为燔祭,一只为赎罪祭。祭司要为她赎罪,她就洁净了。」
