Cities of refuge were needed in order to maintain purity and order in the community. They were designated cities of protection so that a person who killed someone unintentionally could flee there to avoid the avenger of blood, a blood-relative or kinsman of the deceased, until he could stand trial before an assembly. It was critical for Israel to discover that the problem of life is a corporate one and not just for the individual. The idea of Israel becoming a people who were responsible as a city and a nation was important. God teaches us through His Word that we do not live alone unto ourselves. Our lives affect others and we need to take responsibility for each other. It is not only about us becoming free, it is about us becoming responsible. Israel was poised as God’s example of a nation living to serve the LORD of life, among other nations. That is why life is so important to the people who love the LORD. We are responsible for each other in this world.

Avoid Pride; Deuteronomy 7-10
One of the great offences listed in the Bible is pride—believing we are great people when we are not. There is evil in this world, along with sin.
