Bible Chapter: Jeremiah 31 & 32

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    There were people, a remnant of faithful followers of God who would return from captivity. They were carried away at different times. God promised to restore them and bring them back home.  The nation would have renewed joy, peace, prosperity and friendship with God.  Israel in general and Judah specifically would be restored to the promised land. God had promised King David that he would always retain a portion of the kingdom. Jesus came through the family line of Judah. After assuring them of this return, Jeremiah showed that God would establish a new and better covenant giving people the opportunity to have a personal relationship with God.  God’s new way promised to give forgiveness of sin and the spiritual power to live by His commands.
   

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    I must continue to apply the truths and principles of the new covenant that was promised. The Messiah was prophesied and came about 2,000 years ago.  Jesus accomplished the Father’s plan through His life, through His public ministry and through His death, burial and resurrection. God’s plan was fulfilled, but it won’t do me any good if I don’t live it and let it make an impact in my life.  What can I apply in my life?  I can and must apply the whole council of God.

3.  How can I help someone?
    The world is very confused these days.  Life and truth has been turned upside down. The more I can help people see God’s truths and how they apply in their lives, the better they will be.
