Hear... Turn... Then...



I was reading Jeremiah 36 this morning and this verse has stuck...

"Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the calamity which I plan to bring on them, in order that every man will turn from his evil way; then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin."
-- Jeremiah 36:3
I added the bolds...

Clarke on Jeremiah 36:3
It may be that the house of Judah will hear - It was yet possible to avert the judgments which had been so often denounced against them. But in order to this they must -
1. Hear what God has spoken.
2. Every man turn from his evil way.
3. If they do so, God graciously promises to forgive their iniquity and their sin.

Have you done the first two?
