Blessed With The Excellent And The Plenty
Deuteronomy 28:4
4“Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
Would you want to buy a chair that Jesus made? I would, even if it cost US$1,000 because it would be of superb quality. Whatever Jesus did, He did it with perfect excellence.
And because Christ is in you, the things which you produce will be of exceptional quality too. That includes your children, who will be champions. Deuteronomy 28:4 says, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks”.
God was using terms that the Israelites understood since they were farmers and shepherds. Today, “your ground” is the place of your work. This means that “the produce” of your work shall be of excellent quality.
That is not all. God promises that quantity will always follow quality because Deuteronomy 28:11 says that the Lord will “grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body,” which means that you will have plenty of children, “in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground,” which means that your business will flourish and you will be a leading producer in the area of your specialty.
My friend, your excellence and plenty do not come by your efforts. They come by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid for your prosperity — “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”. (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Jesus was made destitute of all material things at the cross. He had nothing! As He hung on the cross, He watched the Roman soldiers gamble for His robe. His last possession on earth was gambled away. He became poor, so that you could be blessed with the excellent and the plenty!

ReplyDeletethe main problem here is,jesus sacrifice was NOT vicarious. truth is, that is against the most fundamental principle of law which god cannot, in essence, violate if he will to remain true to himself. if there is no vicarious death, then there is no basis for your faith and claims.
thus,anyone who subscribes to that needs to seriously review his/her mental state.
as such,the faith founded on FALLACY cannot stand(NO BASIS for all your incredible claims) but will one day be exposed for what it is and then dies a slow death...eventually.
and where you did learn that stupidity?
ReplyDeleteWhat's your basis -- your intellect?
Show me a proof that might convince me?
I'm open-minded. Don't worry.
Do you have any book like the Bible that can prove your truth?
ReplyDeleteconsider this
ReplyDeleteyou go round raping women and children - lawlessness/sin - and in your understanding of grace, the god the father judge, will absolve ALL your guilt/penalty on account of jesus taking the condemnation/judgment in your place(vicarious death).
the rapist walks free and you call that just and...intelligent?
fyi, the laws of our land reflects the judgment of god. if we will bear the image of your god we will have rapists and murderers walking around praising god because...there is no condemnantion in christ!
and you think that's right?
Someday you will know the Truth.
ReplyDeleteand the Truth will set you free.
God bless my friend.
Keep on searching for the truth.
