This is the prophet’s remedy for the healing of the nation. It is the true understanding and knowledge of God, of which the first means the spiritual enlightenment of the mind 1 Corinthians 2:13-14, the other the training of the heart unto obedience John 8:31-32. This knowledge of God is further said to find in Him three chief attributes, (1) “lovingkindness,” i. e., readiness to show grace and mercy; (2) “judgment,” a belief in which is declared in Hebrews 11:6 to be essential to faith; (3) “righteousness,” which is essential to religion absolutely. Unless men believe that God’s dealings with them in life and death are right and just, they can neither love nor reverence him. return to 'Top of Page'
