God vindicates His servants
Scripture: Isaiah 54:1-17
Keyword: Isaiah 54:17
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,’
declares the Lord.
It is good to learn the New Testament first if you are new to the Holy Bible. However, we should not neglect the Old Testament. The first part of the Old Testament is filled with real stories from which we can know God. Then the Old Testament continues with the books of prophets such as ‘Isaiah’, from which we can know God.
I. One of the key messages from God in the Old Testament
For example, we can frequently encounter the fact that idolatry and subsequent evil they commit brought God’s fierce anger and His judgement.
The New Testament teaches that ‘greed’ is ‘idolatry’ (Colossians 3:5b).
II. One of the verses of inspiration in the Old Testament
Isaiah 53 describes ‘Messiah’ and His sacrifice. Isaiah 54 is a subsequent chapter.
Isaiah 54:17 specially came into my heart while listening to “Bible.is” app. I close this short message after I leave it to the audience to read or listen to the Old Testament, including Isaiah 53 and 54.
