Readings in Jeremiah

The other night I was reading Jeremiah 1-8 to my wife...

1. Guilt that we can not remove or deny
   • Jeremiah 2:22-23
2. Promise of judgment
   • Jeremiah 2:35
3. Call to return and a declaration of God's mercy for those that acknowledge their guilt
   • Jeremiah 3:12-13
4. Another call to repent and God's promise of healing for faithlessness
   • Jeremiah 3:22
5. Circumcise our hearts lest God's wrath goes forth like fire
   • Jeremiah 4:4
6. Command to wash their hearts from evil that you may be saved
   • Jeremiah 4:14

I'll cut it short here. To knock it down to a few points:

• giving proof of wickedness
  
• promise of coming wrath from God
• command to repent
  
• promise of God's mercy for those who do

Sound familiar anyone? I'm real excited as I discover a consistent Gospel throughout the Bible... I used to think the Gospel was only New Testament stuff... WRONG!
