Description
Book Introduction
|
Reading the Bible is for learning about God's character. Can't we make the Bible accessible to everyone in an easy and friendly way? And can't we help them live a life of faith that is in line with God's will? This is where the author of the Hippo Bible, Eun-su Jeong, started, and the message he delivers is clear and definite. It is not an intellectual Bible study that we have heard so far, but it conveys God's heart and explains the God we encounter in our daily lives through the Bible. Rather than living a rational religious life according to human will and benefit with a human-centered humanistic thought and perspective, it is thoroughly centered on God. He emphasizes that the purpose of reading the Bible is not to gain knowledge of God, but to learn about His character, saying that it is a life of faith that obeys His thoughts. |

Into the book
Each book of the Bible has a key verse.
When I prepare a lecture or a talk, I summarize the key message in one sentence.
This way, the message I am trying to convey will not be scattered and will reach the hearts of the audience.
There are countless verses in the Bible, but each book has a key verse that represents it.
In the case of 1 Samuel, the following passage is key:
1 Samuel 2:30
Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me I will despise.
This is a key phrase that runs through not only the Book of Samuel but also the entire historical book.
It constantly compares and contrasts two groups of people to show how God respects those who respect Him and how He despises those who despise Him.
Hannah vs. Peninnah / Samuel vs. Eli / Samuel vs. Saul
David vs. Saul / David vs. Michal / Uriah vs. David / David vs. Joab
---From “God Preparing Samuel”
There is only one reason why the Book of Kings was written.
Just know that and read the Book of Kings.
So the writer of Kings devoted a lot of space to discussing who was more responsible for the destruction caused by not keeping the word.
The story of Solomon is the one that is most discussed.
This amount accounts for a whopping 50% of the total.
And the story of Ahab, who is considered an evil king, is given the next largest amount of space.
So, these two people occupy the majority of the book of Kings.
This book is a reflection on the parts of the story of two people where they failed to keep the word, and teaches the Israelites in the current captive community to never repeat the same mistakes again.
Every time we read the Book of Kings, we must keep in mind that “Israel was destroyed and we were taken captive because of the disobedience of the kings and the sins of the people.”
So, this book was written with the hope that we would realize that if we do not keep the word, we too will have no choice but to live as slaves and captives of sin.
As I read this book, I must reflect on how I apply it to my life and how I approach God's word as I live within God's covenant.
And I have to look back on my past life too.
Is there anyone reading this right now who's struggling? Is there anyone who can't seem to get things done no matter what they do? What words of wisdom have I deviated from in the past? I wrote the Book of Kings to encourage you to reflect.

Publisher's Review
Why should we read the Bible with God's heart?
The author of the Hippo Bible, Eun-su Jeong, begins the book like this.
The Bible is not an ordinary book.
God's power does not come out when we approach it with knowledge and academics.
Only by reading with the heart given by the Holy Spirit can we see God's heart, will, and character.'
Many people attend church for a long time and live a life of faith, but they do not live a life of faith centered on God, but rather, they live a life of faith that is beneficial to them, based on their own reason and judgment.
In other words, we live a humanistic religious life.
How can we overcome this humanism? The answer is to read the Bible with God's heart in mind.
God's power will be revealed in my life only when I learn and obey with a God-centered perspective, not by judging and reading with human reason and standards.
And everything happens within the sovereignty of God.
The sovereign of history is God
I have to admit it.
We must know that God creates His history through those who acknowledge His sovereignty, like Samuel and David.
Let us discover God's character
The purpose of our reading the Bible is to become like God's character revealed in the Bible.
The character of God revealed in the Bible is so diverse.
In the Bible, we can indirectly experience God's character.
Among my teachers in middle and high school, there was one with a great personality.
I liked that teacher's personality so much that I wanted to be like him.
I always went to his side and asked him questions, copied his tone of voice, and imitated his actions.
After so much time had passed, I realized that I had become like him without even realizing it.
When you really like someone, you want to be like them.
Then, before I know it, that person's character becomes my character.
That is also the purpose of our reading the Bible.
When I read the Bible, discover God's character in it, meditate on it, and offer my will to it, God's character becomes my character.
Then, I will like what God likes, and I will hate what God hates.
When that happens, God's heart becomes my heart, and my eyes become God's eyes.
The purpose of reading the Bible is not to gain knowledge of God, but to learn about His character.
