Although the books of Kings and Chronicles cover much of the same history, they have different and complimentary perspectives, focusing mostly on the time of the united Kingdom of Israel under Solomon and then the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Kings answers the question: What went wrong? Chronicles answers the question: Is there any hope for us? It turns out that there was more hope than the people could have conceived, but it wasn’t realized until the coming of Christ in whom the apparently failed promises of the Old Testament find their fulfillment.
Jesus' power over the forces of evil demonstrated that the kingdom of God had come.
No matter how long we have been Christians, we can always keep growing more and more in purity and love.
Because of God’s work of salvation in us, we need to work out our salvation.
