Repentance
“The Lord isn't really being slow about his
promise to return, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake.
He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for everyone to
repent.”
2 Peter 3:9 (NLT)
Like: tax audit, back to school, fish
livers; Repentance, is
one of those words you don’t want to hear.
For the unbeliever, it stands between him and eternal life.
For the saved believer it stands between a full and complete life in
Christ and His mighty power working through us.
