Introduction:
This chapter is about an ugly thing in the Israeli family, but it is also a matter of killing the whole family. It is caused by a crime. Although this is a story in history, this story is constantly being played everywhere, especially in Among many young people, we must learn some lessons from it today. Thanks
1. The relationship between men and women should not be too casual and close
This is the case with Dinah and Shechem. They didn't know it at first, but they were able to talk at the first meeting and were too close.
2. The emotions of men and women should be sensible
Can't fall in love at first sight, can't control, blind impulse. Young people ’s emotions are rich, but if they are not controlled, they are very terrible. They are irrational emotions, which are the emotions of inferior animals. This is easy to crash.
3. Do not accept religious etiquette for marriage
If Shechem received circumcision, he did not circumcise to believe in God, but to marry. This is a wrong thing. Many young people today are taught to marry. In fact, when they believe in God, marriage is second (Gen. 34 : 4).
4. Marriage cannot be used as a transaction
Wealth is the condition of intermarriage. Marriage is not a transaction of goods, but a combination of true love and long-lasting love.
5. Can't be deceived by deceitful methods
Shechem promised to circumcise, in fact, to seize the property of Jacob's children (Gen. 34:23).
6. Pay attention to the retribution of causality
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Ga 6: 8-9). Watch out for small crimes.
7. How to deal with marriage?
1. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3: 5).
2. Waiting for The Lord’s preparation, his name is Jehovah-jireh (Gen. 22:14).
3. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
4. The Father and the Lord moved and guided you in all aspects, and you came just right (Acts 10: 33-35).
5. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31).
In conclusion:
Pray that the Lord will have our young people to be truly gracious in this matter so that they will not sin.
