The Unchanging Call to Repent
Commentators unanimously identify the core message as a call to repentance. This wasn't unique to Jeremiah but, as one scholar notes, the 'sum and substance' of all true prophecy. It is God's great and constant summons to humanity to turn from evil and return to Him, a message that remains central to the Christian faith.
