‏ Leviticus 27:26

Redemption of a Firstborn Among Animals

The firstborn of animals belongs to the LORD anyway, without a vow (Exo 13:2). It is not just a voluntary matter. Consecration is also an obligation. We are not our own, we are “bought for a price” and by virtue of that are obliged to glorify God (1Cor 6:20).

Visiting the meetings may be voluntary, but is not a non-binding matter. We are exhorted not to forsake our own assembling together (Heb 10:25). The same goes for worship: “True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers” (Jn 4:23). But then follows: “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (Jn 4:24).
