Truth Exposed: Stone Altar
In Deuteronomy 27:5, God commands Israel to build an altar with uncut stone. Why?
- Uncut stone is natural, pure, undefiled
- To shape a stone is to declare man’s work, not God’s
- Shaping a stone creates an idol.
Israel put their offerings on a physical altar; today we use a spiritual altar, our hearts. The Lord wants it pure and undefiled, not shaped by the world. He wants us humble, depending on him alone, not the world.
