God who relents
God shows grace to Jonah when he repents. God shows grace to the people of Nineveh when they repent. God freely forgives those who turn toward Him.
In this passage we see a picture of true repentance. There is a change in action and attitude. True repentance is visible and discernible.
God is faithful to His word. In Jeremiah 18:8-9, God says that if a nation repents and turns from evil, then He will relent concerning the calamity on that nation.
Even today God is faithful to us when we repent of our sin. 1 John 1:9 says God is faithful and just to forgive us when we confess our sins. This is possible because Jesus has paid for our sins on the cross. God is satisfied with Christ’s perfect payment for sin on behalf of mankind. When we receive this forgiveness by faith, we are considered to be as perfect as Christ, with His righteousness credited to us. It is because of this that we can boldly come before the throne of grace and confess our sins before God.
