Yes! God’s prophet shows us the way: turn back to God. It does not say: return to God with all your heart. That is what is needed, but he does not mention it as the way to salvation from God’s wrath. The focus is on the actual turnabout: to whom do you turn? Salvation is possible. Entering the way of safety is feasible. It is mentioned twice (see Joel 2:12, Joel 2:14).
13 Déchirez vos cœurs et non vos vêtements, Et revenez à l'Eternel, votre Dieu; Car il est compatissant et miséricordieux, Lent à la colère et riche en bonté, Et il se repent des maux qu'il envoie.
