Redemption from the Broken

If you look at your past life, you might find times you have broken away from God's will and found yourself deep in sin.  You might even wonder how God could ever forgive you.  God is an expert at taken the broken and making it new again.

In Jeremiah 31:31-34 God talks about when the Hebrew Children left the slavery of Egypt, they made a covenant with God.  They received the Ten Commandments and swore to adhere to them, but they broke the covenant they had made with God.  Therefore, God would make a new covenant where God would write his laws upon their hearts.  God would forgive their sins and remember them no more.

Born out of a broken covenant, God created a new covenant.  Out of brokenness came a covenant for everyone, not just the Jewish people. When God's people were living at one of the worst times in history when their people were killed, the cities in ruins and God seemed to have forsaken them, God told them of a New Covenant.  A new hope for them.  

God holds the power to put back together all that is broken and make it new again.  When we fall, God will help us back up.  When we rebel against God, He will forgive those who turn from their sins and follow the His will.  

He has written on the hearts of all who follow Him, what he desires.  He desires for us to know Him by reading His Word in the Bible.  There we will find the glue which holds our brokenness together.  It is in the Scriptures we find the God who redeems the broken.
