Numbers 5:1 ASV

We must take sin seriously. It can lead to a withdrawal of God’s blessing. This is the important and challenging message of chapter 5.

We must not lose sight of God’s purpose for our lives. We are to be “dedicated to the Lord” (6:6).

It is God’s intention to bless us in His love. He still speaks His Word to His people. His promise of blessing is still the Word of the Lord to us. It is a Word that never ceases to be relevant to God’s people: “The Lord will bless you and watch over you. The Lord will smile on you and be kind to you. The Lord will look on you with favour and give you peace” (6:24-26).
