Bible Study -John Chapter 10 Verses 11-22

 

Bible Study is very important for our spiritual growth in the wisdom and the knowledge of the God we profess to worship and serve.  Sadly, to say, don’t many professing Christians read or study the Bible.  They received salvation and have no desire to grow spiritually or get to know the God they say they worship.  The problem with this, God has given His people instructions on how to live as a Christian, without following the instructions of the Bible it causes them to live a life of disobedience to God’s instructions which will cause them to receive discipline and a chance to make hell their home.

Introduction

Israel had strayed away from God and His law.  Daniel realized from the reading of the Prophet Jeremiah that the time of the Babylonian captivity was coming to an end.  As a result, he began to pray and make confession for his people in preparation for the return to their homeland.
