This question was placed in a comment\u00a0on the page where the readers can donate\u00a0so we can place\u00a0billboards with biblical message in Chisinau. I do not know the intentions of which the question has been asked, but it obviously\u00a0requires a response that I want\u00a0to give\u00a0in this article.<\/p>\n
The sacrifices\u00a0<\/span>involving expenditures and material resources have always been part of worship to God and He established so.\u00a0But, at a certain time the people of Israel\u00a0believed that God did\u00a0not have what to eat and that was why\u00a0He\u00a0needed the sacrifices. Furthermore, they had come to believe that if\u00a0they gave God material\u00a0sacrifices, they would\u00a0have all blessings from Him and it did not longer count how they lived. What deceit\u2026 That\u2019s why God had to come to them with this message:<\/p>\n Hear, O My people, and I will speak;\u00a0O Israel, I will testify against you;\u00a0I am God, your God.\u00a0I do not reprove you for your sacrifices,\u00a0and your burnt offerings are continually before Me.\u00a0I shall take no young bull out of your house\u00a0nor male goats out of your folds.\u00a0For every beast of the forest is Mine,\u00a0the cattle on a thousand hills.\u00a0I know every bird of the mountains,\u00a0and everything that moves in the field is Mine.\u00a0If I were hungry I would not tell you,\u00a0for the world is Mine, and all it contains.<\/strong>\u00a0Shall I eat the flesh of bulls\u00a0or drink the blood of male goats?\u00a0Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving\u00a0and pay your vows to the Most High. (Psalm 50:7-14)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In the Epistle to Romans, Apostle Paul writes:<\/p>\n Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?\u00a0For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things To Him be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:35-36)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Last week I bought a kilo of cherries from a woman in the street and I\u00a0had to pay 11 lei. I gave her\u00a0o\u00a0banknote\u00a0of 10 lei and because I did not\u00a0have\u00a0one more leu, I asked her whether\u00a0she agrees to\u00a0receive coins of the remaining money.\u00a0She agreed and said: \u201cYes, you can give me and\u00a0I will put the\u00a0coins on the\u00a0plate at church.\u201d Then I asked\u00a0the woman\u00a0if that is how God gave her the things, by throwing coins on the plate?\u00a0The woman answered nothing, but she and her neighbor who was selling\u00a0near her\u00a0remained very thoughtful.<\/p>\n When He gave\u00a0commandments on how to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, God told the people of Israel:<\/p>\n You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. <\/strong>(Exodus 23:15)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Don\u2019t you have any reasons to come up with gratitude before God?\u00a0Don\u2019t you have even the\u00a0gratitude of\u00a0the woman who said\u00a0she would\u00a0place on the plate the\u00a0coins\u00a0gained\u00a0from the sale of cherries?<\/p>\n God teaches us to think of our neighbor and each born-again Christian is well aware of the greatest need of other people to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved. Therefore, we are happy to invest money, effort and our resources to\u00a0bring God\u2019s Word to people.\u00a0Do the same if you care for your neighbor and his supreme good \u2013 the salvation of the soul from eternal death.<\/p>\n Translated by Felicia Rotaru<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This question was placed in a comment\u00a0on the page where the readers can donate\u00a0so we can place\u00a0billboards with biblical message in Chisinau.
