Summary of Tabernacles
The Feast of Tabernacles is a fall harvest festival. The people were to build small huts that they spend time in and eat their meals in during the week. The hut is a reminder that God is tabernacling with us. God' glory fills the temple, and we are the temple. His glory brings his presence, his power, and his goodness.
God is present with you all the time and in his presence is fullness of joy. Tabernacles is a reminder that your levels of joy should be overflowing. God is love and when his love is shed abroad in your heart it purifies your heart and changes your desires. You begin to love righteousness and hate evil because God has anointed you with the oil of joy. His love will begin to motivate and compel you to do good work, in order to be a blessing to people. You don't get into heaven because of work but once you are saved you are saved to serve. But, it is the Father in you who does the work.
Tabernacle is a reminder of the sabbath. We are to cease from our own work and allow God to do his work through us. We are told to labor to enter into God's rest. We do this through developing our habits to the point where our automatic response to the pressures of life is to stay in faith and gratitude for the blood of Jesus, the gift of righteousness, a new heart with treasure in it, and the coordination of the Holy Spirit. It is God who works in you to will and to work his good pleasure.
