What does the Bible say about turning back to God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible calls believers to turn back to God, recognizing that our ways are wrong and seeking His mercy for revival.
The Bible emphasizes the necessity of turning back to God through repentance, as seen in Psalm 85 where the cry is made to 'turn us, O God of our salvation.' This highlights our inherent sinfulness and the need for divine intervention. Isaiah 55:7 instructs the wicked to forsake their ways to return to the Lord, assuring them of His mercy and abundant pardon. The believer's heart acknowledges that without God's act of turning, we remain lost. Psalm 80 reinforces this by repetitively asking the Lord to 'turn us again,' demonstrating an ongoing need for divine grace to stay on the right path.
