Episode notes
God's Pursuit of Our Love
- God loves us first and pursues us like the bridegroom pursues the bride.
- We are called to respond by letting Him love us and loving Him in return.
Faithfulness Over Success
- The key measure of kingship is faithfulness, not merely success or power.
- Abijah's success came through faithfulness to God rather than relying on strength.
Consequences of Unfaithfulness
- Unfaithfulness to God leads to destruction and loss, as shown by Rehoboam’s reign.
- Rehoboam lost his kingdom’s golden wealth within five years due to his unfaithfulness.
