The Old Testament is the story of God reaching out in love to a rebellious people. Why is this significant?
-
When God created us from the beginning of time, He truly loved the fact that He could commune with His creation. Unfortunately, SIN separated us from GOD. Even though there was a separation between God and man, God still loved us. God’s consistent reaching out in love for us, making the ultimate sacrifice sending His only begotten Son to restore us back to Him. “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) KJV.
-
If he didn’t reach out and see relationship with us, we would be condemned to an eternity in hell. When we come to terms with our flaws from the fall, and understand his perfect grace and love, it strengthens our relationship with Him.
-
It’s significant because it shows us God’s love for us. That even though we may stray, God will always prepare away back to him.
-
Because we all have sinned and need a way to get back in right relationship with GOD.
