INTRODUCTION
This second set of lessons on the children of Israel is a follow-up on the first set which was on the deliverance of God’s people from bondage. What we saw in the first lessons was God’s great power back then and here, today.
If you have not already done the first set, it is advisable that you stop right here and go through the first set. Why? Because you will not fully comprehend what they had to go through until you understand what they came out of and how they came out.
There are two parts to salvation. Part one is “justification.” Part two is “sanctification.”
This set of lessons is on sanctification, the experience of growing up into Jesus which eventually results in us getting to Paradise.
Justification was the key word for the first set of lessons. Sanctification is the key word for this set.
This set of lessons covers the trials and tribulations of the children of Israel after they had initially been delivered from their bondage and now are on their way to the Promised Land.
What happened to them can fully apply to us, today. What lessons we can learn from these experiences! For forty years they were out there in that wilderness. The big question is “Why?” Their major problem was they could not really believe that the God who brought them out of bondage could take them into the Promised Land; and that’s why they had to spend forty years in the wilderness. They literally had to grow up in their faith to the point where they could totally trust God for everything.
Our hope is that you have a great time doing these lessons. God bless you!
