Promise 29 from Leviticus 26:40-42
Lev. 26:40-42 - "'If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me .... or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that they then make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land.'" - Any broken relationship is redeemable. From verses 14-39 God is telling the people what He will do to them if they reject His laws and commandments and break His covenant and if they act in hostility against Him. His punishment is harsh. Yet, He says "even after doing these things and reject Me but turn back, repent and humble yourselves before Me, I will restore My covenant with you. I will remember your land and restore favour upon you." We need to fear the Lord, His wrath is fierce, yet we also need to acknowledge that even when we turn away from Him and reject Him, He doesn't reject us when we come back to Him. He is ready to restore His blessings to His people. This is His promise to us.
