I love this! God loved Israel so much that He had them sew tassels on their clothes so they would remember Him and remember to follow His commandments. Without having new hearts, that is the best they could do. I am so thankful for our new hearts!
Numbers 15:
29. There shall be one law for you concerning him who commits sin ignorantly, both for the native-born children of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourns in your midst.
30. But the soul who acts defiantly, whether native-born or a sojourner, he is blaspheming Jehovah, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31. Because he has despised the word of the Lord and broken His commandment, that soul shall surely be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.”
37. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
38. “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them that they shall make for themselves a tassel on the hems of their garments throughout their generations, and for the tassel of the hem, they shall use blue thread.
39. And it shall be for you a tassel that you might see it and remember all the commandments of Jehovah and do them, so that you do not follow after your own heart and after your eyes, by which you go a-whoring,
40. that you might remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.41.I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Jehovah your God.”
