Isa 27:4-5 | MHM | STEP | v. 4-5 : Even when God is angry with His people for their sins, He is ready to forgive them if they turn to Him. Fury is not in me —God desires reconciliation, not destruction (Isaiah 27:4-5 ). If anyone opposes God, it is useless, like thorns fighting fire. But if people come to God and take hold of His strength, He will make peace with them and accept them. This is a picture of the gospel: God offers peace through repentance and faith in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:24 ).
