Justice, Righteousness, and Repentance

Monday, August 10, 2015
Isaiah 1:24-28 NIV

24 Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: "Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. 25 I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. 26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City." 27 Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. 28 But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) After declaring the wickedness of His people (Judah), what did the Lord declare that He would do to His people? (v.24-25)
2) What did the Lord declare He would do to His penitent people? (v.26-27)
3) What would God do to His rebellious people? (v.28)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
4) What do you generally do when you become aware of sin in your life? Please explain why?

LIFE LESSONS
5) When the people of God commit sins against the Lord, He wants us to repent so that He may restore us. But, if we refuse, He allows trials to correct us.
