It is the Biblical duty of every generation of Christians to see to it that the next generation hears about the mighty acts of God. God does not drop a new Bible from heaven on every generation. He intends that the older generation will teach the newer generation to read and think and trust and obey and rejoice. It's true that God draws near personally to every new generation of believers, but he does so through the biblical truth that they learn from the preceding generations. God is jealous over our hearts, yearning for us to learn a lesson from those who’ve gone before us and leave a legacy for those coming after. Our legacy must not slip between the generational cracks.
