God’s rejection of Israel is by no means final.

Contained in this chapter is the key to the entire Gospel!

Do the children of Israel have an “in”, a “special pass”, with God?

What is it that can separate us from God’s love? Listen to what Paul has to say about that in today’s reading.

Today, the apostle Paul talks about justification, slavery to sin, and the law.

Paul points out how the one who relies on his own works to save himself is mistaken. He makes the case for faith, not works.

We complete the Old Testament today, and begin the final book in our one year journey through God’s Word.

We cover lots of territory today in our allotted time, with many topics.

Zechariah ends with a vision of coming events. 1 John addresses our behavior, especially as it pertains to our treatment of other believers.

Many, many topics are touched upon in this reading, including a prophecy that was later fulfilled by Jesus.
