  God reaching out in love is significant, because without that action, we would be born, sin, and go to hell. It is that reaching out in love that leads us to recognize our sin, God’s forgiveness and His grace.

  God reaching out in love to a rebellious people, significant because history does indeed repeat itself. We are just as rebellious today as the Israelite were in their time. We are just as disobedient and rebellious. We need the knowledge that God loves us and want us for Himself in spite of our sinful ways. We knowledge that someone can love us unconditionally. That our faults don’t matter. We loved and accepted for who we are not for perfection.

  God reaching out in love to a rebellious people is significant because we, as human beings on Earth at this time, continue to be rebellious disobeying God’s word and choosing the will of satan or ourselves over the will of God. In essence, we still need the message of the Old Testament in our lives today.

  It shows that God never gives up on the human race and will stop at nothing to repair the bond that was broken.

  This shows that God is seeking a relationship with us and wants us to be part of his existence. We are always rebellious so knowing that God will not forsake us when we are not behaving properly is a great comfort. His unconditional love allows us to be the best we can be as individuals and representatives of Him on Earth.
