When we discarded our true identity, God gave a new one through various generations of a family that would impact all nations. This hinted at the big picture - that one day our relationship with God and the whole world would be forever recaptured through a once-and-for-all Savior...
a Hero.

And so God did not abandon us. Through His prophets, priests, and kings, He longed for His people to stay focused on this promise. To help this the Lord led them into a Promised Land and revealed Laws to guide even the most basic choices.

Why would He do this? Perhaps because He is consistent and good even when we are not.
