No pressure – just be Moses’ replacement: Numbers 26:52-28:15
Brood of vipers: Luke 3:1-22
Higher than I: Psalm 61:1-8
Kindhearted woman: Proverbs 11:16-17
Luke 3:7-9 is pretty heavy stuff. John the Baptist meant the part about producing fruit in keeping with repentance. He believed it so much he lived it himself, to the point of taking his message of repentance to King Herod, surely knowing the danger.
We’ve got to do more than just say we repent (which means to change our lives). We have to actually do it. In short, you have to Live It Like Ya Mean It.
This doesn’t mean that we’re perfect. But it does mean that we accept a life change when we accept Jesus.
Very true. The Christian life is definitely about a change in behavior even when we encounter great resistance.
