Bible Note: Dear Steve, Since all Scripture is inspired by God, it is profitable to believers today as well. This passage has principles that apply to God's people today. For one, it teaches God's faithfulness to answer his people with mercy and healing when we humbly come to him in times of distress or calamity. It also shows the tender compassion of our almighty God. It illustrates a man coming boldly to the throne of grace to find mercy and grace to help in time of need. No, Steve, God has much to say to his NT people in this passage. Rom 15:4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Peace, Lionstrong |
