Relationship
Exodus 28 & 29
Amidst all the ceremonies in the Old Testament, God is very clear about the one thing He wants from us: relationship.
”Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the One who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.“ Exodus 29:45-46 NLT
One thing is certain. Whatever God does, He does it to strengthen the bond He has with us. He fights those who fight against us, like He fought for the Israelites trapped in Egypt, just to have us near. That says a lot!
