Likening the Old Testament made it easier to read!

Reasons to read the Old Testament: The Old Testament contains promises that were made to Abraham and were renewed with others for generations afterward (Genesis 12:1-3 & Genesis 13:14-17). One of the promises was a land of inheritance, the Holy Land, for his faithful posterity. Other promises include an eternal posterity, numbering as many as the sands of the seashore. Reading about the Lord's efforts to bring the children of Israel to the promised land made me think of how much the Lord is willing to do to bring his children into an eternal land of promise: eternal life and exaltation. If the Lord will do miracles to give His children a place to live and raise their families, how much more is the Lord willing to do to bring His children into the blessings of the gospel to make their families become eternal families?
I love the gospel and I know God loves us so much that He will do all that He can to bring us back home.
