In a lifetime people encounter despair and hope. The choice is up to us, as individuals, cities, and nations, whether to live by the Spirit and walk in the way of understanding and in truth, or in wicked way. Thanks be to God, for today and every day, there’s a sure path that leads to build everyone up, which is in Jesus Christ, by repentance and renewal.

Repent and live!(Ezekiel 18:32).

15This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation,

in quietness and trust is your strength,

but you would have none of it. (Isaiah 30:15)

Hebrews 2:1-4

Warning to Pay Attention

1We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
