Isaiah 59

What causes separation between “you and your God?”

• NOT God’s hand being shortened (v 1)
• NOT God’s ear being dull (v 1)

What causes the separation?

• Your sins (v 2)
• Your iniquity (v 3)
• Your lies (v 3)
• Your wicked tongue (v 3)
• Your injustice (v 4)
• Your violence (v 6)
• Your evil thoughts (v 7)

The consequences of such behavior is that:

• justice and righteousness are far away (v 9)
• the people hope for light but have darkness (v 9)
• the people are groping, stumbling, and moaning (v 10-11)

Here’s the good news – we can turn from our sinful ways. And, when we do…

A Redeemer will come…to those…who turn from transgression (v 20).
