Backsliding and a Merciful God
Deuteronomy 4:25-31
Skip Heitzig
| Deuteronomy 4 (NKJV™) | |
| 25 | "When you beget children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of the LORD your God to provoke Him to anger, |
| 26 | "I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed. |
| 27 | "And the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will drive you. |
| 28 | "And there you will serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. |
| 29 | "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. |
| 30 | "When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice |
| 31 | '(for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. |
