WHY JOB OFFERED a BURNT offering for His children
I really want us to know that Job loved His seven boy’s and three girls that The LORD had given him before they died. He cared for his children as a father would care for his children
In those day’s people would offer offerings to The LORD for the sin that may have been committed by themselves , friend’s or relatives in order to atone for that sin which they would have done.
After job’s children had celebrated their birthdays, Job would offer a BURNT offering to the LORD on their behalf in perspective to perhaps they may have sinned before the LORD or disowned God in their heart’s Job 1:4-5[4]His sons used to go and feast in the house of each on his day (birthday) in turn, and they invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them. [Gen. 21:8; 40:20.][5]And when the days of their feasting were over, Job sent for them to purify and hallow them, and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed or disowned God in their hearts. Thus did Job at all [such] times.
As thus may we also be concerned about our way of life and walk in repentance
