Why is this passage in the Bible? So much of what we read in Leviticus is a picture that contrasts life for people in the old covenant (before Jesus came to earth) with life for people in the new covenant (after Jesus came). This picture helps to clarify what life in the new covenant is like. Today, no matter how good our deeds might be, they are contaminated by sin and are nothing but “filthy rags” before our holy God ( Isaiah 64:6). Thus, we are all unclean because of sin. But being united with Christ is like “putting on new clothes” ( Galatians 3:27). The righteousness of Christ covers us like new clothes and makes us clean before God, and therefore Jesus, our High Priest, looks at us as though we had never been contaminated by sin.

How many times has he called to me, but I failed to recognize his voice? How often do I pray and then fail to listen quietly for God’s answer? How often do I come to God with my own agenda instead of asking for his? If God has something to say to me, I don’t want to miss it, so this short verse is a reminder to me to be alert to God’s voice. God has been speaking to His people for thousands of years… and that takes some research to understand! That is why we provide digital books (free & paid) to help you go deeper into God’s Word. What was the original decision process in selecting which passages of Scripture would be associated with study notes?Ron Beers: Zephaniah 1:4-6 talks about how the Israelites’ worship of idols led them away from God and thus recognizing his guidance. Today we don’t worship idols of wood or stone, but we wrestle with “idols of technology.” The life application note bridges the gap between worshiping idols of wood and stone in ancient times to worshiping our cell phones, social media, and even our circle of friends, making the point that anything that takes first place in our lives is an idol and how important it is to recognize that. Only God can have first place in our life.

I found study notes about Wormwood but no notes on Worry. I found notes on Phylacteries, but not a single note on Purpose or Priorities. I found notes on the town of Gozan but nothing on Goals. This research begged the question: If the Bible is supposed to be a blueprint for living, then there should be plenty of verses that show us how to live as a disciple of Jesus, how we can live transformed lives, how to bear much fruit (as Jesus put it). But not a single study Bible did this—there was lots of information, but no application.

The NLT would lean more toward a “thought-for-thought” translation philosophy (putting greater emphasis on the intended original meaning of a passage) while the NIV would lean a bit more literal in its translation philosophy (putting slightly more emphasis on translating each word with its original language equivalent). Both translation philosophies have their merits. I’m a member of the Central Bible Translation Committee for the New Living Translation (NLT), so I am of course biased in that direction!

We all had other full-time jobs, but for a year we put in an additional 30-40 hours per week to meet our deadlines. We pretty much worked seven days a week for over a year. During that time we felt intense spiritual warfare: weird things happening to us and our families, an intense heaviness in our souls. This also happened when we first developed the LASB, so it wasn’t surprising to see it happening again. The Enemy doesn’t want God’s Word to be read and applied—not in any culture. After all, as Ephesians 6:12 says, we are “not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world.” Your account will be charged for subscription renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.
