Author's Note: All previous volumes of this series are here. The first 56 volumes are compiled in the book "Bible Study For Those Who Don't Read The Bible." "Part Two," featuring volumes 57-113, was published in December 2022.

Thanks for joining us. Today, we continue last week's study, “God’s Greatest Quotes From the Torah,” which is the first five books of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. (Note that even though I was kicked out of Hebrew School at age 10, I remember what comprises the Torah. And in case you are wondering, Jesus did not come for me during Hebrew class; that came a decade later.)

Back from memory lane… if you missed reading Vol. 325 because you were busy buying fireworks or a new grill for next Saturday’s festivities, you are excused. But now, take five minutes to catch up, because the Torah quotes I selected permeate both the Old and New Testaments. They are foundational to understanding who God is and His relationship with humankind.

The following two paragraphs from last week also frame today’s study. Therefore, humbly, I quote myself:

“What blows my mind and is difficult to process is that Almighty God, who created the universe and spoke to Old Testament leaders and prophets, is the same God who speaks to us now. Is that because He appears so great, powerful, and unapproachable?

“Conversely, Jesus appears so approachable because He is both human and divine, as God’s plan intended. And today, His Holy Spirit is in us and with us. Always remember that Christianity is the only religion in which God came to man.”

We are now ready to review what I consider the greatest quotes from the rest of the Old Testament, in biblical order, starting with the Book of Joshua. 

God chose Joshua to succeed Moses and lead the “chosen people” into the Promised Land. Joshua had great faith, was a brave military leader, and trusted God for the difficult tasks........
