The people of Israel had turned away from God. They had rebelled against God.
...So what should they have done?

"Does not a person who falls get up?
If they become a believer, do they not repent?"
...That is the natural order of things.

People who fall get up, and if they become a believer, they repent...

They don't stay fallen forever.
However... that wasn't the case for Israel.
They fell and stayed fallen, and if they turned away from God, they stayed away.
And yet... they believed they could go to heaven 🥶
Isn't that strange 🤔❓️?
...Matthew 7:21.
..."Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." "...No matter how much you cry out, 'Lord, Lord,'
you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless you do the will of God in heaven.
...What the Lord is saying here is...🤔
Even if you walk the wrong path, it's okay as long as you turn back!
...Let's trust in God and follow Him❗️

Shalom😃
