Jeremiah 3:12-13 (ESV)
“Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return,
faithless Israel, declares the Lord. I will not look on you in anger, for I am
merciful, declares the Lord; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your
guilt, that you rebelled against the Lord your God and scattered your favors
among foreigners under every green tree and that you have not obeyed my voice, declares
the Lord.”
In Jeremiah 3:12-13, the prophet Jeremiah instructs the northern
kingdom of Israel to return to the Lord. The northern kingdom had turned away
from Father-God by worshiping other deities. Jeremiah urges them to recognize
their guilt, rebellion, and disobedience to the Lord’s authority and guidance. He
emphasizes that if they repent, Father-God will not remain angry and will show
his mercy.
These verses remind us that as followers of Jesus Christ, we
serve a merciful God who continually calls us to return to him. He desires a relationship
with us, and even when we are unfaithful and disobedient, he is ready to forgive.
To restore our relationship with the Lord, we must recognize and admit our sins
to Him and truly repent. True repentance requires a genuine change of heart and
a commitment to obeying the Lord’s laws and guidance. Father-God’s desire is
for restoration of our relationship and healing, and not punishment. He is
always prepared to forgive and restore those who return to him.
If my reflections on these Bible verses have inspired you, and you are looking for a Father-God who is always ready to forgive and restore
you, even in times of disobedience, I invite you to pray the following prayer
aloud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right
now, I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I
am clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
