Verse of the Day: If you use your tool in it, you will desecrate it (Exodus 20. 25).
The altar of God had to be built with rough stones, so that neither skill nor human labor were visible. Human wisdom likes to adapt and organize the doctrines of the cross into a system more artificial and more appropriate to the corrupt tastes of fallen nature. Instead of benefiting from the gospel, the carnal spirit corrupts it into something other than God’s truth. All changes and reparations in the Word of the Lord are blasphemy. Man’s proud heart aspires to participate in the Lord’s justification. Soul before Dios. La dreams of preparing to receive Christ, trust in repentance and humiliation, are proud of their natural abilities; And good works are exalted; in any case, attempts are made to manipulate human tools on the divine altar; it would be good for sinners to remember that far from perfecting the Savior’s work, their carnal trust alone desecrates and dishonors her.
- Only the Lord must be exalted in the work of atonement; and not even the slightest mark of the human hammer and chisel will be tolerated.
- There is a blasphemy inherent in the attitude of trying to add something to which Christ Jesus.
- At the time of his death.
- Declared finished; or to try to increase what the Lord finds perfect satisfaction with.
- Fearful sinner.
- Throw your tools and prostrate at the feet of Jesus.
- In a humble plea.
- Receive Jesus as the altar of your Atonement and rest only in it.
- The verse can be a warning to many believers about the doctrines they believe in.
- Among believers.
- There is a strong propensity to try to adapt to the truths of revelation; it’s a form of irreverence and disbelief.
- Fight it.
- Receive the truth as you find it in the scriptures.
- Rejoice in the fact that the doctrines of God’s Word are rough stones and the most appropriate to build an altar for the Lord.
