Getting Right with God (Jonah 2:1-10) - 4/17/24

INTRO

• God’s delieverance of Jonah

• Jonah’s realization… His Sin and His Prayer

• God’s Mercy and Grace
  

Realize the problem – vv. 1-2

• I called out

• My distress

• Taking ownership. OUR SIN before a holy God
  

Understand God’s discipline – v. 3

Heb. 12:5-11

Discipline is:

• To correct, train, and instruct

• Is motivated by God’s love for us

• It is for our profit…to share in His holiness

• Will lead to the fruits of our salvation

We can either

• Get mad and fight against it

• Get discourage and faint under it

• Get stubborn and invite more of it

• Get submissive and learn from it
  

Look upon God’s Holy temple – vv. 4-7

Notice two truths:

• He knew how bad he had gotten

• He knew God was the only answer

• Holy, Righteous, Just
  

Change your life– vv. 8-9

• He went from serving (vain & worthless idols).  The idols of his own heart

• To serving and following the Lord
