Dr. Buzzell concludes this lesson by saying that if we fail, God wants us to come back to Him. Why is this significant to us today?
-
God doesn’t want to punish us (He loves us dearly) – however, if we do stray off the path, God will chastize us in order to bring us (hopefully) to repentance and restore (reconcile) our relationship back with Him.
-
Because the same applies for today also. God wants us to come back to Him. He wants us to have a relationship with Him, and He wants to forgive us our sins so we can have a right relationship with Him.
-
God has and always will want us to come back to him, no matter our failures, our mistakes, or wrong decisions, if we come back to him and ask for his forgiveness, his mercy, his grace, and his love he will give it to us. I believe this is something many people struggle with today, they believe they have strayed to far from God to come back, we as future leaders in the church need to make that misconception known. We need to let people know that it is never to late, or to far gone to come back to God. He will always be there for us.
-
Because we too are sinful people, who turn our backs on God and His Word. But He offers us forgiveness, when we repent and walk with Him. When we place our trust in Him, as Lord of our lives, we are assured of the presence of His Holy Spirit and life with Him for eternity. That is significant!
-
If we fail, God wants us to come back. This is significant because the Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. This means that God’s heart is always toward reconciling with man and having fellowship with him.
