Wow! If you read through all five sections, then you've covered a lot of ground. But before I let you go, let me leave you with one more thought. We live in a society that places tremendous value on information. We want the inside scoop on which stock to buy, where to get the best deal on a car, and what's going on in the private lives of public figures. Yet when it comes to the things of God, we tend to rely on second-hand information and ideas that we think we may have been taught by someone-or-other when we were little.
But listen! Sh'ma! Your soul is the most important thing you have. Don't trust its eternal fate to hearsay, rumor, or even tradition -- no matter how appealing or deeply entrenched that tradition may be. Discover the truths of God for yourself. Get your hands on a Bible and read it. You will be amazed at what you will discover.
You know, the Bible is a lot like Moby Dick. It's one of those books that everyone talks about, but almost nobody reads. Not good! My personal suggestion to Jewish readers is to start with some of the Torah passages I've mentioned here and then go to the gospel of John or maybe the book of Romans. There are plenty of people, including myself, who would be happy to help you understand and apply what you've read.
God loves you and has a great plan for your life. Seek Him and you will certainly find Him. May He be greatly glorified in your life and in all of Israel!
