2Ch 7:14 “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
God’s promises are based upon an ” if” then condition. His word always says that if we will do our part and remain obedient and faithful, then God can send the promised blessings to us. If we fail to do our part, God is not under any obligation to bless us. ( James May)
” If ” the Israelites were going to humble themselves, pray and seek God’s face and turn away from their wickedness then God would hear their prayers, forgive their sins and heal their land. But ” if” they failed to humble themselves, pray and seek God’s face and turn away from their wickedness, God was not under any obligation to forgive their sins and heal their land.
God has made many promises in his word but each promise carries a responsibility. ” If ” we want God to fulfill the promises he has made, we must be willing to play our part. “If “we do our part, God is faithful to do all that he has promised. If we humble ourselves, pray, turn away from wickedness, he will forgive us and heal our land.
