God is faithful when we are not. God is merciful when we are not. Restoration requires action on our part. When we humble ourselves before Him and repent of our sins against Him He is gracious to forgive and to restore us to Himself. He wants no man to perish but all to have eternal life with Him in Jesus Christ…His salvation that He provided for man’s redemption. Praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
