Jeremiah 9:24

This is the prophet’s remedy for the healing of the nation. It is the true understanding and knowledge of God, of which the first means the spiritual enlightenment of the mind1 Corinthians 2:13-14, the other the training of the heart unto obedienceJohn 8:31-32. This knowledge of God is further said to find in Him three chief attributes, (1) “lovingkindness,” i. e., readiness to show grace and mercy; (2) “judgment,” a belief in which is declared inHebrews 11:6to be essential to faith; (3) “righteousness,” which is essential to religion absolutely.
