Practical Application: Even in terrible judgment, God is a God of hope (Lamentations 3:24-25). No matter how far we have gone from Him, we have the hope that we can return to Him and find Him compassionate and forgiving (1 John 1:9). Our God is a loving God (Lamentations 3:22), and because of His great love and compassion, He sent His Son so that we would not perish in our sins, but can live eternally with Him (John 3:16).
Vitendo Tekelezi: Hata katika hukumu ya kutisha, Mungu ni Mungu wa tumaini (Maombolezo 3: 24-25). Haijalishi ni umbali gani tumekwenda kutoka kwake, tuna matumaini kwamba tunaweza kurudi kwake na kumpata mwenye huruma na mwenye kusamehe (1 Yohana 1: 9). Mungu wetu ni Mungu mwenye upendo (Maombolezo 3:22), na kwa sababu ya upendo wake mkuu na huruma, alimtuma mwana wake ili tusiangamie katika dhambi zetu, bali tuweze kuishi pamoja naye milele (Yohana 3:16).
