  This is significant because this is us. God created us, loves us, but we are rebellious people. God is continually reaching out to us as he was doing in the Old Testament. The Old Testament can help us understand why things happen in this world, what happens when people rebel, and how God works to redeem His relationship with us. It is also significant because the Old Testament points to Jesus. We learn that Jesus is the ultimate answer to the problem of sin.

  The Old Testament story of God reaching out in love to a rebellious people is significant because it allows us to wrap our minds around a type of love that is gifted by God alone. It helps us to understand the why behind such a love and in return, how to love others as he calls us to do even though we are rebellious and sinful in nature. He is calling us back to the place in which he created us to be. With Him.

  It shows that our God is a forgiving Father and a God who gives us the opportunity to realize that there’s hope even after our mistakes.

  Actually a better question would be why would it not be considered significant to the Bible. Clearly anyone doing this course would of course be able to give you the overly tired out answers of it is significant because it proves God’s love even before He sent his son to die on the cross, how He has longed since the fall of man to truly be with man, and even how He has chosen individuals that you would never have expected to do His work. The better question of why would it not be considered significant would make the person answering this question really stop and think for a while on the question. The actual answer would be that they could not find an answer. But it would take the reader a moment to thoroughly look inside themselves and question everything to see if they could come up with anything other than, no it is significant and here is why.

  This is significant because as a person I’m rebellious to the way they are gone it doesn’t seem to matter how much I try not to be I find myself being rebellious the Old Testament shows me that gods patience and forgiveness can also be applied to me
