Note: God has given us a way of escape through Christ Jesus, but we must accept it with our whole heart. Lukewarm Christians make Him spit you out. They are double minded and undependable in all their ways. They have one eye on spiritual things, and the other eye on the world. No man can serve two masters. Matthew 6:24.

Only those who repent can enter into God’s ark of safety- Psalms 91. Repentance is a change of mind, but reformation is a change of conduct. There can be no true repentance without reformation. Our actions reveal what is in our heart.
