In 1 Peter 1, the Apostle reminds us what it means to be born again. As Christians, we get an entirely new start, treasures that don’t corrupt, eternal life, and faith that helps us see what God sees. Our faith will be tested in a culture that hates God and mocks His children, but our faith will grow as we walk in obedience to Jesus.
In Hebrews 11-13, the writer defines faith and explains the role it plays in our life. Faith impacts our daily decisions and shapes our values to reflect the Kingdom of God. As we read through these chapters, we are reminded of the high price our ancestors paid to follow God, and we are challenged to follow their example of faith.
In Hebrews 9-10, the writer reminds us that salvation is not found in rituals or religious activities. Salvation is only through Jesus. As we read through these chapters, it is clear how our heart wanders from Jesus and turns salvation into a religious work. But, Jesus did not die to bring us a New Old Covenant, He came to fulfill the Old Covenant and establish an entirely New Covenant.
In Hebrews 6-8, the writer warns not to be deceived about salvation. Being close to the things of God is not the same as being transformed by the things of God. Hebrews 6 begins with a warning about living a religious lifestyle and finishes with God’s promise of salvation. As we read through chapter 7 and 8, we are reminded how God’s plans are superior to ours.
In Hebrews 3-5, the writer establishes the supremacy of Jesus over Moses and connects Israel's promised land rest to the Christian's rest in Jesus. As we study these chapters, we are reminded that Jesus is the only way to God and we must decide to follow Him daily.
In Hebrews 1-2, the writer establishes the supremacy of Jesus over angels and the dangers of drifting from our obedience to Him. As we read these two chapters, we are challenged to identify anything in our life that opposes Jesus' leadership, and we avoid spiritual drift that comes from knowing the truth but not applying it.
In Joshua 20-24, Israel created cities of refuge, three Hebrew tribes choose comfort over community, and Joshua gave a final command before he died. As we read these final chapters in the book of Joshua, we are reminded of our responsibility to point non-believers to Jesus and the joy we share in His family.
In Joshua 13-19, Israel completed the conquest of Canaan, and God gave the 11 tribes an inheritance of land. However, the Levites were priests and not given any land. Their inheritance was to steward the presence of God and care for the spiritual needs of the other tribes. As we read about Israel's inheritance, we are reminded of our inheritance in Jesus and the reward for walking in obedience.
