Say to the Israelites: ‘When a man or woman wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the LORD, that person is guilty. Numbers 5:6 (Chapter 5)
Our behavior toward one another cannot be separated from the purity of our hearts. When you wrong another person, you have first, sinned against God. And, the reverse is true. If you have been abused or used badly, it is God who first felt the sting of your pain and the sin that hurt you.
Not only does God’s law emphasize Holiness before Him, but among each other, in our communities and families. It is important to treat each other with the highest respect and regard for well-being.
If you think it is okay with God to mistreat someone, you would be wrong! And…….if you are suffering at the hands of abusive tormentors, take heart, because God is going to fix it, better than you ever could.
