Who is King Josiah
King Josiah inherited a kingdom in ruin and under God’s judgment. He heard a message of destruction from the true prophets and changed his ways, but quickly found out sincere faith is not enough! While cleaning idol worship out of his kingdom and placing the temple in order, the workers discovered the Book of the Law. When the words of the Law were read to Josiah, he humbled himself before God and started following the instructions in the book. Like Josiah, we are called to live by the instructions in the Bible. Sanctification is the process of becoming more like Christ by living by the Word. This book teaches us what King Josiah learned about being sanctified. At the end of this book you will know the importance of obeying the Bible and establish a plan to learn what God’s Word teaches us so we can put the teachings into practice.
