God Promised His People Prolonged Days,
Enlarged Borders and a "Going Well"

God promised his people that He would prolong their days

Keep in mind that the commandments included the commands to sacrifice specific sacrifices when they sinned. If they sinned and sacrificed, the blessings (the long life) in the Abrahamic covenant remained in force uninterrupted for them. In other words, the sacrifice kept the Abrahamic blessing flow (healing, prosperity, family well being and salvation) continuously in force for them with no interruptions.

Jesus is now the final sacrifice for sin under Moses' law. His blood keeps the Abrahamic blessings flowing without interruption at this very moment. Remember that Gentile Christians are grafted into this Abrahamic blessings system. This promise of prolonged days belongs to us just as much as it belonged to the Jews in the Old Testament. But this is not all.

God promised His people that He would enlarge their borders

God promised His people "a going well" with them and with their children

Deuteronomy 12:28 KJV

28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

 

Remember again that our sacrifice is Jesus, God's final sacrifice for sin(s) under Moses' law. As such, we are grafted immediately into this Abrahamic blessing also. Jesus blood took care of our sin problem in His one act of death. He never has to die again for any of our sins. Praise God.

"Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness!" Going well with us and our children is a promise delivered by Jesus blood and righteousness.

Yes! It is better to obey than sacrifice

1 Samuel 15:22 KJV

22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

 

But aren't you glad God made a way to get us off the hook when we sin. It is sacrifice or hell. Take your pick. They had to sacrifice over and over for each and every sin in the Old Testament. We Christians don't have to sacrifice over and over. Jesus blood and righteousness took care of our sin(s) problem permanently.

Throughout the Old Testament, we see this formula; If they kept the sacrifices, they would maintain what they were born with, their Abrahamic healing, prosperity, family well being and salvation. Failure to sacrifice properly meant an instant cut off of the above blessings. Their continuance in the blessings demanded the proper sacrifice when they sinned or lose them all.

Yes it is better to obey than sacrifice, but aren't you glad God made the provision for the sacrifice.

Here is what you must have!

Our first two full length, free books completely explain this subject. You see, most people do not understand how Abraham's covenant and Moses' law work together. Without this understanding, you will forever be in doubt about any blessing from God. You must understand how God made Abraham and Moses function together. You must understand this one thing. You must.
