Well, we are excited about our spiritual renewal as we transition through the last phases of the Bible in 90 days mainly because most of us will have received a life-time ambition, doing just that. What a legacy!
What we have learned however, is the importance of humility and to become more humble. What we will become however, as a result of our commitment to this task, we may wish to pause and think about since we've learned God's chosen race just "didn't get it". Consequently, even though the Grand Story has led us to a new level of learning and understanding and we see how God revealed Himself in the Old Testament, how He appeared to the Phophets and how the Phophecy is now fulfilled with the New Testament, we have that realization that we should somehow change. Despite that fact, that now we are given the opportunity of Redemption, we still must believe and develop our Faith if we are to become righteous and produce righteous fruit.
Here is one perspective of what has been learned and how one can become closer to God in a new relatioship. We learned God is Righteous and this forms the foundation for following His commandments. Rightousness, Justice and Mercy pave the Way toward greater Faith. For us to become Righteous through Trust and Faith develops one's sense of Justice and Mercy.
Now, we have learned that to "love the Lord thy God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul and all your strength" is the first and most important commandment. This, we must center and focus upon through concentrated learning and becoming. To Love God that much helps make sense of our'Olah, where we lay all our cares and "things" at the foot of the Cross. Based on this, we now can develop the capacity to "Love our neighbor as ourself" obeying, in the process, the original Ten Commandments.
The last most important learning is prayer: communicating with God on a daily, if not hourly basis, to learn His Will, ask for Forgiveness and offer our Thanks.
Upon completing our journey through the Bible, may our next best step be centering, focusing and concentrating on Jesus and The Father, to develop the habit which will truly change our human spirit into a more Holy Spirit. May God bless you all.
