Jeremiah 8:4 KJV
Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
The questions in this passage are meant to be rhetorical. Of course when a man falls he he gets up again. of course when ne takes a wrong path he eventually wants to get back on the right path.
If that is true in the physical world, then it ought to be true in the spiritual world as well. It is meant to reason with and bring logic into the discussion of the spiritual. The only right, sensible and reasonable thing for a man who has gone away from God to do is to come back to him.
Mankind as a whole has fallen from God.
Adam and Eve brought sin into the world and through them all of mankind once knew God but is now out of fellowship with him. It is only reasonable to insist that men should arise and return to God
Individuals turn from The Lord in their own self will
So we can't blame all our spiritual problems upon Adam and Eve. Truth be told, we would do as much or worse tan they. The sensible thing to do is get up and make things right with God.
Christians slip out of close fellowship with the Lord too.
And when that happens the thing to is confess it and get right.
It is only sensible, logical and reasonable.
