Return to the Lord, acknowledge your guilt, the Lord will heal you

Jeremiah 3:1-25
Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. Her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart but only in pretense," declares the Lord.
Go, proclaim this message toward the north: "Return, faithless Israel,' declares the Lord, 'I will frown on you no loner, for I am merciful' declares the Lord,' I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt- you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,;" declares the Lord.
"Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding." Yes we will come to you, for you are the Lord our God.
Why?
King Josiah's religious reforms, far-reaching though they were, did not change the heart of the nation. The people God says, did not come back to him in sincerity. It was just pretense.
V16, In which the law was kept in the inner sanctuary of the Temple It is no longer needed when God's law is written on every heart.
Even now God will save his people if they really repent. He will bring them back from exile a united nation whose worship is a living reality, not a mere ritual.
Israel and Judah are rebelled to the Lord like prostitute with many men. But if they confess their sin return their heart to the Lord, even they were under exile and distress, the Lord will bring them back. Even now the Lord are waiting for rebellion people turn to Him. For the Lord is merciful, he will not be angry forever.
How?
Proclaim the good message that "return to the Lord, acknowledge your guilt, the Lord will heal your of backsliding." The Lord like the real repent heart not pretense.
