Lamentations 5:21 KJV
Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
Jeremiah drives at a truth so despised by the majority. He recognizes that no real turning to God happens until God turns us.
• It is the difference between reformation and regeneration
• It is the difference between religion and salvation
• It is the difference between works and faith
Christianity cannot be "I have decided to follow Jesus" or it is mere surface conversion. The work that lasts is the work that God does. When He turns us unto Himself, we are truly and finally turned.
