These things, beloved, we write not only to admonish you, but also to remind ourselves; for we are in the same arena, and the same contest lies before us.
Let us fix our gaze upon the blood of Christ, and understand how precious it is to His Father, because, being poured out for our salvation, it brought to all the world the grace of repentance.
Let us pass through all the generations and learn that in generation after generation the Master gave a place of repentance to those who would turn to Him.
7:6
Νῶεἐκήρυξενμετάνοιαν, καὶοἱὑπακούσαντεςἐσώθησαν
挪亞傳悔改的道，那聽從的人就得了拯救。
Noah preached repentance, and those who obeyed were saved.
Jonah preached destruction to the Ninevites; but those who repented of their sins propitiated God by their supplications and received salvation, though they were strangers to God.
