The story of redemption is on clear display in Exodus as God rescues His people from their slavery in Egypt. In the same way, Jesus breaks our bonds of sin (Hebrews 2:14-15).
We can trust God to provide what we need, when we need it—and to work out our lives in ways that are better than we ever imagined.
Solomon’s example provides a strong warning: Even the most blessed person can drift from God and make big mistakes.
The positive spin of 1 Chronicles was designed to remind the Jews that despite their punishment for sin, they were still God’s special people. When God makes a promise, He keeps it.
God’s punishment isn’t intended to hurt people but to bring them back to Him.
God will always take care of the people who “dare to stand alone…to have a purpose firm” for Him.
Life-changing faith in Jesus is the key.
Life may be hard, but God is always good. And for Christians, there’s a much better day ahead.
Even when we sin, we know that God “is faithful and just to forgive us our sins” when we confess (1:9).
True believers, Jude says, reflect God’s love, show compassion, and work to pull sinners “out of the fire” (1:23).
