The Law of the Picture:,God r
Holds His People' " '
Accountable to Lead
the World
f ods people had wanted to live like other na-
LJ tions did. They failed to realize that he held
them to a higher standard than other nations. God
intended to guide them Himself, making them
a nation of leaders who could become a model
for the world. lt's an example of the Law of the
Picture: people do what people see. God wanted
lsrael to be a light.to the nations. They were to
exemplify the life all people were to live. God's
heavy judgment fell because He held His people
accountable to lead the world to Himself.
