The Old Testament speaks of the “nation” of God’s chosen people more than individuals. Whether a nation or an individual, there is a tipping point when you are so far away from God he will destroy you or save you, depending upon whether you are serious about repentance.
Jeremiah 18:7-10 (TLB) 7 Whenever I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be taken up and destroyed, 8 then if that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9 And if I announce that I will make a cer1ain nation strong and great, 10 but then that nation changes its mind, turns to evil, and refuses to obey me, then I, too, will change my mind and not bless that nation as I had said I would.
