What is repentance? What is evil? If you think you know, here are some harder questions: Does God ever need to repent? Does God commit evil?
Well, Jonah 3:10 seems to indicate that God does commit evil and does repent of it. Yikes! What does that mean? This is what we’ll look at in today’s study.
The Text of Jonah 3:10
Jonah 3:10. And God saw what they had done, that they repented from their evil ways, and God was sorry about the evil which He had declared to do to them, and He did not do it.
In this discussion of Jonah 3:10 we look at:
- What is repentance?
- Does God ever repent?
- What is evil?
- Does God commit evil?
- The sad, humorous truth about repentance from evil in Jonah 3:10

What is repentance? How do we repent? Does God ever need to repent?
What does God think of evil people? What does God think of people who disobey Him, and are opposed to Him and His ways? Well, according to Jonah 3:3, God thinks they’re great. We’re going to see that the wicked and violent people of Nineveh are great to God.
Do you ever feel like you are stuck on a hamster wheel in the life of discipleship to Jesus? That you hear the same things over and over? You go through the same steps over and over? That you just keep going round and round and never seem to make any progress or do anything new?
