Repent and Be Saved

Jeremiah 18:5-11, ‘Then the word of the Lord came to me: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are in my hand, O house of Israel. If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.” Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, “This is what the Lord says: Look!

Jesus, the Judge

Isaiah 42:1-4, ‘Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on Him and He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise His voice in the streets. A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out. In faithfulness He will bring forth justice; He will not falter or be discouraged till He establishes justice on earth…’ Jesus will come again, but this time it will not be to save but to bring the Justice of God to the world to both men and angels. He is righteous and He is calling you to come unto His righteousness so that on that Day, you will not be with those weeping and gnashing their teeth but with those that are called to enjoy their inheritance promised them by God. Therefore surrender your life to the faithful one of God, and He will clothe you with His righteousness.
