Jeremiah 4:1-2

God is faithful when we admit our sins and ask for forgiveness to come into our life. In our obedience to His word He will change that life to one that will give Him honor and glory. He is faithful even when we are not and the truth of His salvation will set us free! 

The truth of the word made flesh, Jesus Christ, and His righteousness sets us free from the judgement of death that we deserve and relies totally on our faith in Him and not works to do that which we cannot.

The term abominations or “detestable objects” is usually used in the context of idolatry in the OT. The results of Israel’s justice and righteousness would have international consequences. Truth, judgment, and righteousness are three terms used to summarize the ultimate and ideal demands of the covenant. They are the standards by which all men, from kings to slaves, were and will be judged.

Jeremiah 4:1-2

“If you will return, O Israel,” says the Lord, 
“Return to Me; 
And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, 
Then you shall not be moved. 
² And you shall swear, ‘The Lord lives,’ 
In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; 
The nations shall bless themselves in Him, 
And in Him they shall glory.”
