In Ezekiel 15 & 16, God compares Israel to a useless vine, a prostitute and an adulterous wife. After repeated warning, they refuse to repent and turn to God. They refuse to lay down their idols and stop worshipping false gods. They are even sacrificing their own children to these gods. God reminds His people of how much He loves us, adorns us, delights in us, wants to hold us, comfort us and protect us. He gives us free will and free choice and desires us to choose Him more than anything; however, it is ultimately our choice. As it was Israel's choice. He warns again of the coming judgment, final exile, and destruction of Jerusalem. He concludes with a promise of restoration and hope. An eternal covenant would be coming. God hasn't forgotten or changed His mind about His people and He never will. God gives us atonement, forgiveness, and freedom from our sins if we choose Jesus as our Lord and Savior. If we choose Christ, we never have to worry about God's judgment or wrath. The eternal robe of the blood of Jesus is wrapped around us for all eternity because He is that passionate about us and loves us that much.
