Preparing to Enter the Land (Level 3 | 63)

We delve into the significant themes of blessing, faith, and the coming King in the Book of Moses. We explore how the initial blessing given to creation was lost due to Adam and Eve's disobedience and how perfect obedience to God's law is necessary to restore it. However, human corruption makes this impossible on our own, highlighting the need for a change of heart initiated by God in response to faith. We also examine the promise of a coming King from the line of Abraham and Judah, who will defeat evil, achieve blessing for the world, and rule over all nations.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into the lives of Abraham and Moses to understand the profound relationship between faith, righteousness, and blessing. We explore how Abraham's unwavering faith led to righteousness and obedience, even in the absence of explicit laws, and how this faith was pivotal in receiving God's promises. Conversely, we examine Moses' lapse of faith at Kadesh, which resulted in his exclusion from the Promised Land despite his long-standing leadership and faithfulness. Through contrasting these two biblical figures, we uncover the essential role of faith in receiving God's blessing and how it produces genuine obedience. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into one of the most significant speeches in history—Moses’ final address to Israel in the book of Deuteronomy. Moses urges the Israelites to believe in Yahweh, follow the Law, and take the Promised Land.
