Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:14

Theological / Devotional

Humble themselves. God’s desire for sinners is that they should humble themselves, forsake their sins, and turn to Him and live. God takes no delight in the suffering and death of the wicked, and urgently calls upon sinners to repent and turn from their transgressions, that iniquity shall not be their ruin (Isa. 1:18–20; Jer. 25:5; Eze. 18:30–32; Hosea 6:1).
