Wholeheartedly Turn From Sin to Him


Jeremiah 24:7; 25:5  
25:5 They said, ‘Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
24:7 Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.

God calls us to turn away from our own sin - those things offensive to His nature and commands - and towards Him.  This is so that we can live with Him in His presence.  Since this is impossible to be sinless, Christ as sinless God stepped in our place to give us a new heart in forgiving mercy and undeserved goodness that we can be His people and live forever with Him, made clean from our rebellious nature of sin.  We need only to belief, hand over our heart and life, and be made new.  Have you?
