Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 5:4-7
In the last sermon, we learned that one who is born a holy descendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a child of God. Any person of another race or seed line cannot come up to the front of a church and say any words, even the “sinner’s pray” to become a child of God. A child of God is born a child of God. He is either, by birth, a child of God or he isn’t. It can’t be changed, that is, it can’t be changed from a person who is not a child of God to a person that is. There is nothing a person can do to change it.
The question that any true child of God or Israelite must answer is: Which god or gods will they serve. Many Israelites have worshipped in the past and are worshiping other gods in the present. That is the battle that children of God face every day. Will they do the rituals, deeds, holidays and commandments of the gods of the Canaanites or will they do the rituals, deeds, holy days and commandments of their God.
