Ezekiel 18:23
King James Version
23 Have I any pleasure at all
that the wicked should die?
saith the Lord God:
and not that he should
return from his ways,
and live?
I am grateful to GOD, for always giving me a chance to repent.
It's a sign of GOD's love, that He doesn't want me to perish.
So, He sends me His messengers.
In the most timely manner yet.
For more than anyone, GOD knows the urgency of the times.
By the GRACE of GOD, and through the ministrations of the HOLY SPIRIT, I had enough sense to take heed.
Why is it important we repent?
What do we repent from?
What's going to happen if we don't?
What do SPIRIT and Scripture say?
Why do we need to repent, turn to CHRIST, and change our ways?
JESUS can return any moment.
Matthew 24:37-39
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
The Rapture can occur any moment.
Matthew 24:40-42
King James Version
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not
what hour your Lord doth come.
The wicked will not survive the day of the LORD.
Joel 2:11
King James Version
11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army:
for his camp is very great:
for he is strong that executeth his word:
for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
and who can abide it?
Only through JESUS can we be saved.
Acts 4:10-12
King James Version
10 Be it known unto you all,
and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified,
whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man
stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought
of you builders, which is become
the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
This is what JESUS came for:
Luke 5:29-33
King James Version
29 And Levi made him a great feast
in his own house: and there was a great company
of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees
murmured against his disciples, saying,
Why do ye eat and drink
with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said unto them,
They that are whole need not a physician;
but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
The times are at hand:
Acts 3:19-20
King James Version
19 Repent ye therefore,
and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ,
which before was preached unto you:
We repent because of our sinfulness.

and come short of the glory of God;
It is time to acknowledge our sins.

8 If we say that we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned,
we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
If we don't repent, we shall perish.
Psalm 37:20
King James Version

and the enemies of the Lord shall be
as the fat of lambs: they shall consume;
into smoke shall they consume away.
And GOD surely doesn't want us to perish.

King James Version
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
GOD loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten SON:
John 3:16-17
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.

to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
JESUS came to save the lost.
Luke 19:9-10
King James Version

This day is salvation come to this house,
forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

Let us be grateful for the LORD's mercy.

for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.

whom he hath redeemed
from the hand of the enemy;
Who is our enemy?
John 8:44-45
King James Version
44 Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth,
ye believe me not.
2 Corinthians 4:4

hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.

the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:

because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,

knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.

21 For since by man came death, by man came also
the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:22-25
King James Version
22 For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up
the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down
all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign,
till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1 Corinthians 15:26-28
King James Version
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted,
which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him
that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all.

and will not turn away his face from you,

can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born?

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
