Deuteronomy
10 – A Kingdom of Priests
As
Levi was the priestly tribe, so today the church is a kingdom of priests. Every
believer in Jesus Christ is a priest. The New Testament priest is to offer
himself to God for worship, intercession, and service. Romans 12:1-2. And every
believer, as a priest, has a gift to exercise in the church. The tribe of Levi
was to have no material inheritance. God was their inheritance. Like Levi, our
inheritance is in God. We are blessed with all spiritual blessings. If Israel
had kept the statutes, they would have been blessed. When they broke them, judgment
came upon them. These people under favorable circumstances, in a land geared to
the Law, were unable to keep it. Thank God He saves us by grace today. In the
Old Testament He never saved anyone by the law. They were saved by His mercy
and grace to them, looking forward to the coming of Christ to die on the cross
to take away their sins.
The
will of God is the expression of the love of God Psalm 33:11. We should love
God and prove it by our obedient service and our worship. If we Love God, we
will also love others.
