Principle: As human beings, we all have a natural tendency towards sin and disobedience because of our sinful nature. However, by continually walking in the Spirit, we can have protection, forgiveness, and the peace of God.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
“If your brother has grown poor among you and sells himself to you, you must not subject him to slave labor.
Let him stay with you as a hired worker or as a temporary resident. He will work for you until the Year of Jubilee,
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
“As for your male and female slaves whom you may acquire out of the nations that are around you—from them you may buy male and female slaves.
You may also acquire from among the children of the foreigners dwelling among you, as well as from their families who are with you—those born in your land—they may also become your property.
You may also leave them an inheritance for your children after you, to receive as a possession. These may become your slaves permanently. But over your brothers, Bnei-Yisrael, you must not rule over one another with harshness.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
“When Adonai your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out many nations before you—the Hittite and the Girgashite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mightier than you—
and Adonai your God gives them over to you and you strike them down, then you are to utterly destroy them. You are to make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
“After Adonai your God has driven them out from before you, do not say in your heart, ‘It is because of my righteousness that Adonai has brought me in to possess this land.’ It is because of the wickedness of these nations that Adonai is driving them out from before you.
It is not by your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land. Rather, because of the wickedness of these nations, Adonai your God is driving them out from before you, and in order to keep the word Adonai swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
So you should understand that it is not because of your righteousness that Adonai your God is giving you this good land to possess—for you are a stiff-necked people.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
Now the angel of Adonai came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and He said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and took you into the land which I swore to your fathers. I also said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you.
Now as for you, you must make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You must break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to My voice. What is this you have done?
Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you, but they will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’ ”
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
“If an outsider dwells with you in your land, you shall do him no wrong.
The outsider dwelling among you shall be to you as the native-born among you. You shall love him as yourself—for you dwelled as outsiders in the land of Egypt. I am Adonai your God.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
All the congregation of Israel must keep it.
But if an outsider dwells with you, who would keep the Passover for Adonai, all his males must be circumcised. Then let him draw near and keep it. He will be like one who is native to the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat from it.
The same Torah applies to the native as well as the outsider who dwells among you.”
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
But now in Messiah Yeshua, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.
For He is our shalom, the One who made the two into one and broke down the middle wall of separation. Within His flesh He made powerless the hostility—
the law code of mitzvot contained in regulations. He did this in order to create within Himself one new man from the two groups, making shalom,
and to reconcile both to God in one body through the cross—by which He put the hostility to death.

Principle: As human beings, we all have a natural tendency towards sin and disobedience because of our sinful nature. However, by continually walking in the Spirit, we can have protection, forgiveness, and the peace of God.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
But now God’s righteousness apart from the Torah has been revealed, to which the Torah and the Prophets bear witness—
namely, the righteousness of God through putting trust in Messiah Yeshua, to all who keep on trusting. For there is no distinction,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
For the flesh sets its desire against the Ruach, but the Ruach sets its desire against the flesh—for these are in opposition to one another, so that you cannot do what you want.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
So I find the principle—that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
For I delight in the Torah of God with respect to the inner man,
but I see a different law in my body parts, battling against the law of my mind and bringing me into bondage under the law of sin which is in my body parts.
Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
I urge you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice—holy, acceptable to God—which is your spiritual service.
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you are able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist when the times are evil, and after you have done everything, to stand firm.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
Stay alert! Watch out! Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour.
Stand up against him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being laid upon your brothers and sisters throughout the world.

Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Parasha B’har-B’chukotai 5783
For You, my Lord, are good, and ready to forgive and full of mercy to all who call upon You.
