Our relationship with God is about abiding in the covenant made by God. Forsaking the covenant breaches the fellowship but God seeks to heal the breach. Only when that breach is persisted despite remonstrations and chastisements from God does the relationship of the covenant fully break down. At the moment, there are breaches as the covenant people forsake their love of God somewhat but God is still holding out a hand of peace and chastising with mass surveillance and looming prospects of major war and loss of peace. God still regards the covenant people as His own. But love for God among these people is paramount for there to be prospects of greater peace and healing of the relationship. (The covenant is Christ’s blood and the keeping of Christ’s teachings by those who believe in Jesus Christ.)
