Leviticus 18
Book of Leviticus #18
Chapter 26:14-46 must be taken seriously by anyone who wishes to take God seriously. It presents a sobering account of the extent to which God is prepared to go in order to save us. Ultimately, though, for those who like pharaoh harden their hearts and refuse his mercy, there remains one ultimate and eternal outcome: hell.
Curses are the counterpart of blessings. But God is a loving God and his desire is for all mankind to be saved. When faced with the prospect of an eternity in hell, the worst temporal curse is an act of mercy. God's love is complete and unending, and therefore the curses in this Chapter should not be seen as a sign of a hateful God, but rather as an expression of his love when he is speaking to a wayward, obstinate, rebellious child.
In this lecture, we cover the curses of Leviticus Chapter 26. We will see that these curses are all-encompassing, that they are comprehensive, covering every aspect of our lives.
God wants us to understand that there is not one aspect of our lives that escapes his scrutiny, his judgment, and his love
