Returning to God

Returning to God

Read Joel 2:12-13
Today’s Truth

The Holy just God of the universe whom we have sinned against is gracious and merciful. He is slow to anger and He is abounding, He’s like full of, like overflowing with steadfast love. And He relents over disaster.

Discussion Question
  1. What does it mean to you that God is gracious and merciful?
  2. When we fall short of the glory of God, we ought to return to God in repentance. What does it mean to repent?
  3. What does it mean to return to God with your whole heart?
Life Application

God delights in renewing, changing, restoring, redeeming, saving, transforming. God delights in that when we turn from our sin with fasting, with weeping, with mourning. And obviously, this is in one sense a picture of salvation. Like we experience forgiveness from God the moment we turn from our sin and ourselves and replace our trust in Jesus as Savior, Lord of our lives.

About the Author
Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
