2 Kings 8: God is faithful to 1,000 generations, even those in Ahab’s family

Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Collinsville, IL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Kings 8.

The words, “God is a jealous God to the 3rd and 4th generation of those who hate me.” from Exodus 20 were never more true. The more we hear of the family connections to the Ahab, the more sin and destruction occur. We also see the faithfulness of the LORD to the 1,000 generations of those who love Him. This is a reminder that although a generation or two of kings or families might be unfaithful, God always calls us to repentance and His love in Christ is above our sin. “Lord God, we thank You for the gift of repentance and faith. We pray that Your Spirit of Truth would keep us and our families in faith and a life of continual repentance. Lord have mercy. Amen”
