    based on 86 ratings
     | 6,819 views

    Nadab & Abihu serve as examples of what happens when we trivialize God and begin to live as if God doesn’t matter. Thank God for the grace that saves us from the consequences of our sin.

Some are probably thinking “Nadab & Abi-who?” The Hebrews had just been led out of Egypt. They had followed ...read more
