"I will accept you as a sweet aroma"

Text: Ezekiel 20:41

ACCEPTED BY THE LORD

Those who choose to return to the Lord in repentance would be accepted by Him. They need not fear that they would be refused!

“‘For on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,’ says the Lord God,
‘there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me;
there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings
and the firstfruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things.
I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples
and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered;
and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles.'”
