What does it mean to be turned by God?

Answered in 1 source

To be turned by God means experiencing regeneration and conversion, moving from a state of sin to a renewed life in Christ.

Being turned by God involves both regeneration and conversion. Regeneration is the divine act of giving new life to a person who was spiritually dead, while conversion refers to the turning away from sin and embracing faith in Christ. The sermon highlights the repeated plea in Psalm 80 for God to 'turn us again,' indicating our need for His initiating action in our lives. This act of turning is necessary because we cannot turn ourselves; it is solely by God's grace that we experience transformation. As we see His face and the glory of Christ, we are compelled to turn away from our former ways, ensuring that our new life is directed towards Him and His righteousness.
