Future generations must also praise the LORD, so write this for them:
We will see its strong walls and visit each fortress. Then you can say to future generations,
Heaven and earth will praise our God, and so will the oceans and everything in them.
Don't leave me when I am old and my hair turns grey. Let me tell future generations about your mighty power.
Afterwards, the LORD said to Moses, “Write an account of this victory and read it to Joshua. I want the Amalekites to be forgotten for ever.”
I made them my own nation, so they would praise me.
They are my people— I created each of them to bring honour to me.”
But these are written so that you will put your faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. If you have faith in him, you will have true life.
And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope.
These things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.
God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. That's why he sent Christ to make us what we are.
That is why I am doing my best to make sure that each of you remembers all this after I am gone.
