Jehovah knew that eventually the Israelites’ descendants would lose faith in him and be ‘scattered among the peoples,’ (De. 4:27).
There, they would offend him when they fell into the practice of idol worshiping (De. 4:28).
But he would not forsake them.
Within the congregation, this may apply to those who either in the past or future commit serious sins against Jehovah and break the pact they made with him upon baptism.
What recourse do they have when later on in life they find themselves alone and in trouble?
God himself extends the following invitation:
The congregation doors are still open “and he will not turn his face away from you if you return to him,” (2 Ch. 30:9).
Thank you very much for that encouraging thoughts. It is true…I appreciated the point “the congregation doors are still open”…Jehovah’s blessings are not unconditional or for an unlimited time period. Thanks a million. I am not sure if I am allowed to add a comment that I appreciated in this weeks Bible highlights…let me know if it is ok to add one. Thank you again
Hi Iris, I am glad you found this encouraging.
I will be happy to read your additional points.
You may share it here in the comments section but I need to review it before it appears published, because I have no way of verifying your identity.
