The Record of the Remnant

This chapter provides a record of the faithful remnant that returned to the land. So important is this record to God Almighty, it is also included in the Book of Nehemiah 7:6-73. At first glance, we might be tempted to think "this is just a list of names, how can it possibly help me in my Christian life?" We need to always remember that nothing is in the Word of God by accident and that every part of the Scriptures is profitable to us. As we study this chapter, keep in mind the principle of a remnant and let us endeavor to be those who are a part of a godly remnant in our day even as these saints were in theirs.
