Testimony of Faith: Our World Belongs to God #22
“When Israel spurned God’s love –
lusting after other gods, trusting in power and wealth, and hurting the weak –
God scattered them among the nations, yet kept a faithful remnant and promised them the Messiah: a prophet to speak good news, a king to crush evil and rule the earth with justice, a priest to be sacrificed for sinners.
God promised to forgive their sins and give them a new heart and a new spirit, moving them to walk in his ways.”
Closing Song: I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light
