Living As The Mattanah

Thursday, August 26, 2021

Earlier this month, I shared with you about the Mattan - Now another realm to the mystery - a similar form of the word - Mattanah speaks of the sacrifice that was given to God, not by command but freely. Messiah, Himself was the Mattanah, the gift that was given freely. In Messiah, God didn't just give something He had. According to John 10:18, He gave Himself freely. In the same way, Romans 12:1 tells you to present your body as a living sacrifice. Your life is to be a living mattanah - a freely given gift to God. Make your life a gift by becoming a freely giving person; give what you have, but most of all, give yourself. Live your life as if your life were a gift. Live as if you were God's gift to the world - because in Messiah, that's what you are to be. All your blessings come to you because of Him. He gave Himself as a gift to you. Go and do likewise - until your life becomes a mattanah for God.
