Lesson 5 | Relationship Helps
Hearts Affected
The Scriptures aim to affect our hearts and change the way we feel about God and his will. The exegete, who believes that this aim is the aim of the living God for our day, cannot be content with merely uncovering what the Scriptures originally meant… It is the will of God that his Word crush feelings of arrogance and self-reliance and that it give hope to the poor in spirit
John Piper, Biblical Exegesis
If you haven't been doing so already, be sure to begin taking the time to meditate upon the significance of the passages we are studying. After you have thought over their meaning via Arcing, turn them to your soul and let them do their work. While it is not an official part of the assignments, you are welcome to include your meditations in a dot note for us to likewise be encouraged by.
