Summary In this week’s conversation, CJ Cousins is joined by Richard McNeil, Rechanka Doristil and Shaun Brooks. They review the highlights of week eight, which focused on the book of Leviticus and the beginning of the book of Numbers. The conversation then transitions to the first journal entry, which explores God's character of love. CJ and the other guests share their insights on how God's love is revealed in various aspects of the readings. The second journal entry is discussed, which focuses on the picture of Jesus and the assurance of salvation. The hosts and guests reflect on the sacrifices and offerings in the Old Testament that prefigure Jesus' sacrifice and how it provides assurance of forgiveness and restoration. The conversation explores various themes related to sacrifices, Jesus' sacrifice, grace, turning the other cheek, Jesus' perfection, God's character, resistance, nonviolence, God's supremacy, the power of Jesus' blood, God's grace and perfection, knowing God through His laws, the Jubilee and restoration, and oppression. The main takeaway is that Jesus' sacrifice and the principles taught in Leviticus point to the redemptive work of Christ and the importance of living out our lives in response to His grace and forgiveness. They also discuss the themes of oppression, justice, and celebration in the context of the gospel. They emphasize that the Bible is a book of love and that God desires equality and justice for all. They also highlight the importance of remembering God's love and celebrating His goodness. The reflection on the work of the Holy Spirit in radiating God's love and the need for believers to emulate God's character of grace and mercy is overwhelming. They encourage listeners to be activists for the oppressed and to create a culture of celebration in the church. The conversation concludes with a reminder of God's promises of peace and freedom from fear. Takeaways The Bible is the epic unfolding story of the love of God, ultimately and most vividly revealed in Jesus Messiah, him crucified and risen for our salvation and the establishment of his kingdom. God's character of love is seen in his call for us to love our neighbors as ourselves and in his preservation and forgiveness of those who come near to him. Jesus fulfills the sacrifices and offerings of the Old Testament, providing assurance of forgiveness and restoration. God's love is other-centered, focused on loving us and calling us to love one another. The gospel is a message of love and liberation from oppression. God desires equality, justice, and celebration in His people. Remembering God's love and celebrating His goodness are essential for a vibrant faith. Believers are called to be activists for the oppressed and to emulate God's character of grace and mercy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livingforhim/support
