God’s mercy and love is demonstrated by His ceaseless pleading with His people to turn away from sin and return in obedience to Him. God also promises the people of Israel that He will purify them and give them a “new heart” that is sensitive to the Lord and His Word.

We see how God gave Ezekiel the job of warning the people of Israel about the coming destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. We also learn that God judges sin, and that God is present and in control in every crisis that we go through.
