Gold Bells Ringing and Singing
Shining Gold Bells Ringing Out the Truths Of Eternity!!
Children Full of Fruit of Faith Spreading Seeds of Life Anywhere and Everywhere!!
The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the linen of the robe. Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he comes out so that he will not die. Exodus 28: 34-35
This is all part of the priestly garment of the High Priest Aaron.
Every part of this description that God has given us has a deeper meaning.
And I had been praying God, “why the bells”.
What does that mean?
What is the purpose?
Why is it that if Aaron didn’t have bells walking around the Holy Place that He would die.
Because salvation isn’t based on us singing all the time.
And why die?
That seems so harsh.
This morning God revealed this to me.
Our faith in the Bible is referred often as two things.
One is fruit—figs and pomegranates.
Which is why the pomegranates are part of the design of the priestly garments.
They are to show us that we have to have faith in be in God’s presence.
Pomegranates (and figs) are fruits that are filled with seeds.
For we are called to share our faith, spreading seeds of truth about Jesus everywhere.
For we are called to live in faith: a faith that shares-the proof of our faith-these seeds of faith everywhere.
This fruit is the evidence that we are saved.
That is given to us by the Holy Spirit.
In the Bible our faith is also referred to as gold.
Our faith is more precious than gold though it’s refined by fire.
So, the bells are also symbolic of a person’s faith.
Bells make noise.
Bells cry out.
Because all people are required to speak their faith.
That all people must call on the name of the Lord to be saved!!
That, that, is the only requirement.
That this action is what allows us to enter and stay in God’s presence.
That if we claim Jesus Christ as Lord we are saved.
It’s why Aaron has to have these gold bells on the hem of his priestly garments to not die.
Because all people must call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved and live forever.
That when we have called on His name, when we have asked Him into our hearts, we are singing out, we ringing out our truth.
God wanted all people to know that our salvation is not based on us.
That it is simply an act of obedience to trust what He says.
Then He gives us His Spirit.
His Spirit that produces in us and through us, the fruit, the pomegranates.
The pomegranates that are full of the seeds of faith that we distribute, that we sow, to everyone and anyone we encounter in this life, Him working through us!!!
May we know that we know that we know if we call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved!
May we know that we know that we know the moment we do, we will now live forever in the Presence of our Father God in His Kingdom!!
May we know that we know that we know the reason God is written detail after detail after detail on revealing Jesus Christ and the way to Him, is because He truly wants all people to saved, that all would call on His name and live forever.
