In the process of doing […] The post Indestructible Word (Jeremiah 36) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Early in the scriptures, the Lord came to Abraham and made a promise.

In our last lesson we looked at healing anger. We noted that quick anger is foolish, causes problems, shows a lack of restraint, and is contagious.

We have been looking at the book of consolation which is contained in Jeremiah 30-33 in which God is proclaiming to the people the future hope that will come when Christ comes.

This paragraph begins with a jarring truth declaration: God will repay each person according to their works (Romans 2:6). This is a repeated declaration that is made throughout the scriptures.
