I really enjoyed chapter 7. The Bible sometimes is hard for us as we read about how God interacted with people thousands of years ago in a different time, plays in culture. Because of that difficulty, casual readers or unbelievers cannot make the connection. Unfortunately, many people therefore dismiss the Bible has having any relevance to their life.
I like the way Packer makes the connection of the Biblical teachings from the past to our present. God is unchangeable. He is the link between the Bible times and our times. He did it before for his followers and he can do it again for us.
