In today's episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we come to 2 Chronicles 21, a sobering chapter that marks a dramatic shift in Judah's story. After the faithful reign of Jehoshaphat, his son Jehoram rises to the throne—yet instead of walking in his father's footsteps, he rejects the Lord and leads the nation into spiritual decay. Jehoram inherits a godly legacy, but he does not embrace a godly heart. His life reminds us that a spiritual heritage is a blessing, but it cannot save us. Faith must be personal. We do not enter the Kingdom through family identity or tradition, but through repentance and faith in Christ alone. This chapter reveals the tragic consequences of rebellion, pride, and bad influences, yet also highlights the unshakeable covenant faithfulness of God. Though earthly kings fail, Christ, the true Son of David, reigns forever in righteousness and grace. ________________________________________ Key Themes • A godly heritage must become personal faith • Sin always destroys — spiritually, morally, and relationally • God remains faithful even when His people fail • Bad company corrupts good character (1 Cor. 15:33) ________________________________________ Main Takeaway No legacy, position, or tradition can replace a personal walk with Jesus Christ. Faith must be real, living, and our own. Closing Encouragement Let this passage urge us to remain faithful to God's Word, to humbly walk with the Lord, and to cling to Christ, who never fails and never forsakes His people.
