Summary of Readings

§     The Poetic and Wisdom Books of the Bible give us an insight into how God wants us to live in this world

§     We are told to love God, and our neighbours as ourselves, and to seek to God for wisdom to help us adjust in this life

§     God’s wisdom is different to the world’s wisdom, and often His ways are not appreciated by the world, but we still need to seek to follow them

§     In the Last Days God will bring together a remnant who will live in accordance with His wisdom and be preserved wholly - in spirit, soul and body, ready to meet Jesus Christ when He returns. (1 Thess 5:23)
