It’s interesting how the Lord starts this verse off with the word if. If implies a condition, and that something hinges upon something else in order to occur. If does not imply certainty, however.
In this verse, we see that God isn’t going to force Israel to return to Him, but if they want to, He will let them. The decision to return to God is based solely upon Israel; God is more than willing to take them back if they would but just turn to Him.
And that’s the love of our God. No matter what we do, say, think, or anything, He’s still willing to take us back. If we confess our sins…He is faithful and just to forgive them. And it’s such a comfort to know that nothing we do will ever change the acceptance that the Lord has given to saved Christians.
Jer 6:16 Así dijo Jehová: Paraos en los caminos, y mirad, y preguntad por las sendas antiguas, cuál sea el buen camino, y andad por él, y hallaréis descanso para vuestra alma. Mas dijeron: No andaremos.
Dios nos manda que caminemos en un camino. Y, para mí, este significa que siempre debemos estar caminando, o haciendo algo, para Dios. Pero, al mismo tiempo, debemos examinar el camino para que podemos estar seguros que es un buen camino, porque es muy fácil cambiar del camino de Dios a otro camino sin darse cuenta.
Si es un camino de Dios, hay descanso y paz para la alma.
Pray for Spain. Pray that the Lord would raise up missionaries and native Spaniards to take the gospel to the millions of lost souls in Spain.
