“Fruits Of Repentance”

Key Verse

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee” (Job 22:21).

TEXT — Job 22:21-30

Message

William Gurnall had this to say about the mercy of God, “If God could not be more glorified in our peace and reconciliation, than in our death and damnation, it were a wicked thing to desire it. But God hath cleared this up to us, that He is no loser by acts of mercy. In this lies the greatest revenue of His crown, or else He would not love ‘mercy rather than sacrifice.’ …He delights more in the mercy shown to one than in the blood of all the damned, that are made a sacrifice to His justice.”


Today’s text is a most elegant expression of the possibilities of God’s grace. It is a continuation of the counsel of Eliphaz to Job. Although the entire counsel was based on the false assumption that Job was sinful, considering what befell him, it contained very vital scriptural principles that bear universal relevance. Repentance (penitently asking for forgiveness for sins and turning away from them) and reconciliation with God are entirely in the interest of the sinner. The experience transforms him internally and externally and opens a vista of temporal and spiritual blessings.


Those who reconcile with God to enjoy “the peace of God” from which a lot of other good things will spring. Divine preservation, provision, protection and power accrue to those who turn their lives over to God and align with His word. They are also guaranteed answers to their prayers.


It is possible to have wealth, connections and fame in this world. But all these will give no true satisfaction and fulfilment without a connection with God. Sin must be dealt with to establish this connection through genuine repentance and faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ for salvation.

Thought for the day

Anything that separates a person from God shuts him away from true blessings.
