Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which <\/strong>was bestowed<\/strong><\/em> upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20141 Corinthians\n15:10
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read\nthe Key Verse. The first half of the verse is helping us understand that only\none who has asked Jesus into their heart and life can live a life pleasing to\nGod, and that is only because of grace. Grace\n<\/strong>means\u201cthe favor and good will of God undeservedly\ngiven to people; the forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to a holy God.<\/em>\u201d\nMoreover, because it is an undeserved forgiveness of sin, Christians are to\nwork harder than anyone else to please God, obeying His commands. We must remember\nthat we cannot do it by ourselves. We can only do it with the help of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>We are\nto be strong as Nehemiah. He not only lived a life pleasing to God, but he led\nothers to do the same. Christians are to recognize that we have God\u2019s Spirit to\nhelp us and we are to be faithful to remove sin when we see it in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>In\nour last lesson, we learned how Nehemiah helped rebuild the city walls of Jerusalem,\nreinforcing the city. Not only that, but we learned of the many times the\nenemy\u2019s plans were thwarted, and God\u2019s people were able to complete the walls\nin fifty-two days.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the city was reinforced and\nprotected, it was time to organize the people. Nehemiah appointed jobs to\npeople and selected men to be rulers in the city. The people gathered together\nand asked Ezra to read the book of the Law to them. After hearing God\u2019s Words,\nthe people began to live according to God\u2019s Word. They celebrated the Feast of\nTabernacles. This was followed with a time of prayer. After acknowledging their\nsin, they made a covenant with God to obey His commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people drew lots to find out who would live inside of the city of Jerusalem, and who would live in the cities around. Then there was a dedication of the completed walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nehemiah returned to Shushan to serve the king again \u2013 just as he had promised. After a time, he returned to Jerusalem. When he arrived, he saw much sin \u2013 beginning in the house of the Lord. Eliashib, the priest, was friends with Tobiah (their adversary) and had allowed him to move into the Temple. The Levites were working outside of the city instead of taking care of the house of the Lord. The people were working, buying, and selling on the Sabbath \u2013 breaking God\u2019s commands. They had intermarried with the nations around, again; for the high priest\u2019s own grandson had married the daughter of Sanballat, the enemy of God\u2019s people. Nehemiah removed and corrected the sins of the people. He prayed for God\u2019s people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
