Have you ever wondered why stories of biblical events that occurred thousands of years ago can still be relevant? More to the point, what are the lessons from those events that God wants us to learn, and to apply to our lives?
Holy God, Fallen World is a collection of fascinating Bible stories that reveal God's interaction with the men and women of the fallen world, who live in rebellion to God and His principles, and reject His demand for righteousness. The people of the fallen world live according to their own immoral ideas, desires, and plans. They have no concern that others may be hurt by their actions.
The stories in this book give examples of the rebellion by unfaithful men and women of the fallen world; how God has responded to their actions over past centuries; and what the consequences of their rebellious actions were.
Important lessons about God's relationship with the men and women of His creation can be learned from these stories. They reveal how God has guided, responded, and often punished the sinful behavior and actions of the people of the fallen world throughout past centuries.
These timeless lessons are entirely relevant in today's troubled, fallen world.
