DISCOVER BIBLE | THE LINE OF GOD FOLLOWERS

1. Introduction

a) The Bible is full of wonderful stories and special truth. What we want to do is to discover the Bible.  

b) Psalm 119:11 says, "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." 

c) Nurture and grow your understanding of the Bible as you read and discover the Bible.  

2. The Line of God Followers - 1 Chronicles

a) The genealogies are very carefully selected. They traced the line of the "God Followers!" The opening verse mentions Seth as the only son of Adam (form him came the "God Followers!"). From Noah, we continue the direct line of this special "faith people" through his son Shem. We then go to Abraham, through Isaac, to David.

b) Note there are brief "side excursions" to position this line of "God Followers" in parallel to other lineages. However, none of the others are followed very far; in every case, they are mentioned to give perspective, nothing more.

c) ... This brings up an important point!

d) A quick look at the Kings and Chronicles materials might cause you to think they are dull and repetitious. Or, you might look at a set of genealogies and say, "Ugh! What is that good for?"

e) God has not breathed inspiration into any portion of His book to bore us. All of it has truth which can guide us, and further reveal the nature of God to us.
