Like Israel, we are recipients of grace, but there is more to the story

THE MESSAGE TO ISRAEL

Sins of spiritual promiscuity and pride

War between Israel and Judah

The Lord disciplines His people so that they will turn to Him

WHAT IS GOD SAYING TO US?

1) Unbelievers need to turn to Him. (John 3:36)

2) Sin is a big deal!

3) Why it is a big deal when Christians sin:

-We will suffer natural consequences

-We may experience God’s discipline

-It harms our relationship with God

-We miss out on heavenly rewards

YOU NEED TO:

Recognize there is still sin in your life (James 4:17)

Confess that sin to the Lord (1 John 1:9)

Ask God to help you find freedom

Rejoice that God’s grace is greater than all your sin!
