This appears to be a very good commentary which surprises me in this day and age of Woke, Social Justice ect. How to live our lives with God and warnings on sin. Good examples of today's society and emphasis on what is sin and what is salvation. IF we are not challenged to seek after the Biblical Truths how can we have a closer walk with God. A lot of good information and this volume just got released a few days ago. It will take a while to read the whole commentary. Chapters 3-5 and 13 jumped out at me to read first. We each have our own needs for growth. But I always want to help people look at yourself and see the sin in your life. IF you can see the sin you can repent and turn your back on the sin. We each are different. We all have different ways at looking at things. But repenting of sin and preaching it is very important in this day and age. Where it seems sin is more acceptable the Biblical teachings or God's Judgement on how we should live our lives. We need to challenge those around us to take a hard look at our own lives and repent of our weaknesses and short fallings. And move forward with a closer relationship with God. This commentary points in that direction. IT is something to critically think about and share about.
