Bible Study: Week 1
I just finished the last assignment for week one of my Bible Study. Already I feel much closer to God, knowing more about Him and how much He loves me.
I've learned that the people in the Old Testament are really not much different than myself...the relationships that they had, the responses to God that they displayed, their anger, their rebellion.
This makes the history seem so much more relevant for me. Especially since so many people say that the Bible is antiquated and cannot, could not apply to the people of today.
My feeling now, after learning about Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Mennasah, is that the Bible is VERY relevant in today's world. The only thing that has changed are our "high places"...and even then...its not so different.
