Duet 15:1-18, June 5, 2022; God’s Law provides Compassion to All

Deut 15:1-18, June 5, 2022, S-1491-DC

This study is guided to clarify some of the misconceptions and misunderstandings often applied to God’s Law in the Old Covenant.

When properly understood the fairness and compassion of God’s heart for not only His chosen Israel but the stranger and the foreigner too, leap off the page of God’s Word.

Some of the focal points taught in the study are The Lord’s Release which ensures quality of life for the servant, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner. It also provides a stop gap for a man, whom with Godly discretion, is obligated to lend financially for a hardship and not be tempted into a sinful heart caused by greed. Generosity to the poor is a character trait expected to flow from the heart of man if that man is in correct communion with the True and Living God.

Another focal point is the relationship between a bondservant and his master. How God instructs the master to, by Law, allow freedoms in the life of the bondservant, to provide richly to the bondservant once released, and also a provision which assures a lifelong relationship between a bondservant and his master if love, care, and compassion are paramount between not only the two of them but the families as well.

Maranatha!
