God Will Accept Unworthy Sinners

To those who feared that God would not accept them if they turned to Him, the prophet declared: “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Verses 28-31. RR 116.5

The heart of Infinite Love yearns after those who feel powerless to free themselves from the snares of Satan.“Fear not,” He bids them,“for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” “Fear not, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:10, 13. RR 116.6

Many who knew nothing of God’s attributes were yet to behold the glory of the divine character. To make plain His merciful intent, He kept sending His prophets with the message, “Repent now everyone of his evil way.” Jeremiah 25:5. “For My name’s sake,” He declared through Isaiah, “I will defer My anger, and for My praise I will restrain it from you, so that I do not cut you off.” Isaiah 48:9. RR 116.7
