All That is Written is for Us Who Come After

For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures.
Romans 15:4 HCSB

The apostles wrote about the happenings around Jesus and those like Paul, from their experience with Him after He had gone. They all wrote lessons on how to conduct ourselves, the importance of loving God and loving our fellow man. Only the very last book in the bible was otherworldly. Every other letter, record and encouragement was instruction on how to live, possibly with the exception of the Acts of the Apostles. In the gospels Jesus Himself taught us, who were in the saints loins, how to live.

You see we, in our present time, are connected to those who went before. We are not removed from Christendom, we are pearls sewn on the edge, but still vital and relevant. The book to Hebrews tells us that those who have gone before are watching on and encouraging us to persevere. Amen! Don't lose hope!
