In Search of God's Promises

What is the one thing we do when we feel out of control in a situation? We grasp onto something stable, something we can lean on, something that will hold us up. When the ground is shifting we want something solid to stand on. This is a journey through the Bible in search of God's promises for us today. Let's look together to see how many "boulders" He has in His quarry for us to stand on! "It is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Rom. 9:8

Promise 72 from Exodus 30:10

Ex. 30:10 - "Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord!" - I love it when God very plainly expresses what is meaningful to Him. The atonement of man to God is a precious and holy act. When we were created, we were created in the image of God. God was reflected in us and us in God. Sin separated us and broke the oneness with Him. Atonement brings us back, at-one, with God once again. It erases all that which separated us from being one with God. I am not saying that when we are one with God that we are God, not at all, what I am saying is that the oneness recaptures the like image with God that God intended us to have at creation. Jesus made atonement possible. So the promise is, that God the Father delights in being one with us as we accept God the Son, Jesus' sacrifice for our atonement on the cross. We can look like our Daddy once again!
