Obedience to God's Will Jesus exemplifies perfect obedience to God, serving as a model for believers to seek and do God's will in their lives. The Centrality of Christ in Scripture All of Scripture points to Jesus, encouraging believers to read the Bible with a Christ-centered focus. The Role of Sacrifice Jesus' willingness to fulfill God's will through sacrifice calls believers to consider what sacrifices they might make in their own lives for the sake of the Gospel. Perseverance in Faith Just as the original audience was encouraged to remain faithful, believers today are called to persevere in their faith amidst challenges.(7) Lo, I come.--Rather, Lo, I am come--I am here. The original meaning of the following words is not quite certain. The Hebrew admits of two renderings. (1) Then I said, Lo, I am come! in the roll of the Book it is prescribed unto me; (2) Then I said, Lo, I am come with the roll of the Book that is written concerning me. The "roll of the Book" is the roll containing the Divine Law. The next clause is quite distinct in construction: "I delight to do Thy will, O God; yea, Thy law is within my heart." The omission of the words "I delight," alters the connection of the words; but it will be seen that, though the Hebrew verses are condensed, their meaning is exactly preserved.
