“The Nature of Repentance – Part 1 of 2”
Jonah 3:6-10:
[6] The word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne,
removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
[7] And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh,
“By the
decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste
anything. Let them not feed or drink water,
[8] but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out
mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is
in his hands.
[9] Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from His fierce anger, so that
we may not perish.
”
[10] When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God
relented of the disaster that He had said He would do to them, and He did not do
it.—
