Verses of Atonement: Isaiah 55:7

This is the third part of a series studying Biblical atonement. As previously mentioned, the Messianic movement falsesly claims that only sacrifice can bring atonement (and then misinterprets and ignores the laws of sacrifice). So, I have been listing Biblical verses that give non-sacrificial means of atonement. The current verse is often read at the Selichot service, the special Saturday night service on the Saturday prior to Rosh Hashanah.

Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked leave his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return to the L-RD, and He will have compassion upon him, and to our G-d, for He will abundantly forgive."

The Bible is clear in its pronouncement: if a person stops their bad thoughts and behaviors, and returns to G-d, the person can get atonement. Again, no need for sacrifice.
