The Word that Connects - God Forms a People
07/10/22 • 18 min
When you read the Old Testament, God seems angry. He punishes people and calls them to account. He destroys and tears down. But God acts this way to teach His people the contrast between His way and the way of the world. Through the law and the prophets, God is shaping His people to be His faithful followers.
