When someone does us a favor, we tend to feel obligated to pay back the kindness. It’s just part of who we are.

It’s gratitude.

Yet when it comes to God’s favor on us, we face a debt we can never repay. So what can we do to express gratitude?

This episode of Live the Bible teaches us how to respond to the overwhelming favor God has lavished on us. The book of Leviticus shows us how to express our dedication and gratitude to Jesus Christ.

#377 - What to Do with the Rest of Your Life

God is love.

But He is more than that. The same Bible also teaches that our Lord is a God of wrath. He loves sinners, but hates sin.

So how does God choose which attribute to act on—love or wrath? And how can we know if God accepts us—for sure?

To discover the answer, this episode of Live the Bible takes us to a surprising place: the Old Testament book of Leviticus. (That’s no typo.)

If you’ve ever read Leviticus, you know it reads a bit like the new has rubbed off. A bit outdated. But once we look beyond the rituals, we see a richness and a relevance of timeless truths that help us know without a doubt that God accepts us—and why He does.

When’s the last time you received a gift that you didn’t open?

Probably never!

We can’t wait to unwrap gifts that our loved ones have picked out just for us. But often, that’s exactly what we do with one of God’s greatest gifts. It’s a gift Ruth and Naomi received in real life—in the Bible.

In today’s episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to Ruth chapter 4 to finally unwrap that special gift God has for us.

Think of the surprising turning points in your life.

I’m talking about those random conversations, chance encounters, and off-the-cuff decisions that seemed insignificant but ended up changing the course of your life. We might chalk these moments up to coincidence, but Scripture shows us otherwise.
