Salvation and restoration

Jeremiah 30-31 “I will…”

As I read through these chapters this morning, I was struck by the multiple ways God describes His loving restoration of His people.  Making a list of those ways is a blessing as I am reminded of God’s love and willingness to restore me when I wander away from Him, and of the bountiful blessings I have in Christ as a result of my salvation.  I could not make a “Top Ten” list today … there are more than ten blessings in spiritual restoration!  Look at this list!

            1. I will restore their fortunes

            2. I will bring them back

            3. I will break the yoke off your neck

            4. I will save you from far away

            5. You will have quiet and ease

            6. None shall make you afraid

            7. I will restore health to you

            8. You will be radiant over the goodness of the Lord

            9. I will comfort them

            10. My people will be satisfied with my goodness

            11. I will satisfy the weary soul

            12. I will forgive their iniquity

            13. I will remember their sin no more
