1 Samuel 12

Theme of chapter: Samuel is getting old, he gives his swan song speech to Israel

Most important verse: 1 Samuel 12:20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

Most prominent word: sin (do wrong; miss the way)

Teaching about Christ: The Lord will not forsake his people.

Command to obey: Pray for each other. Fear the Lord and server him with all your heart.

Promise to claim: Unrepentant sin will be judged. The Lord is quick to forgive and slow to anger.

New truth learned: The people of Israel are told by Samuel to not let past sin affect their walk with the Lord. What is done, is done, move forward.
