Tamar was married to the son of Judah. However, the son died young and left her no children. She played the part of a harlot and conceived twin boys by her father-in-law, one of the sons of Jacob. Can you believe this account is recorded in Scripture and that she is in the genealogy of Christ in Matthew’s gospel?
Something even stranger than that is the fact, that if you have received Christ, your name and mine is in the Book of Life forever.
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Give it some thought and fall on your knees and thank Him. These stories and more are recorded to show the grace of God toward a repentant sinner.
