Repentance: turn from your evil ways. Rest: Be still and know that I am God. Psa 46:10. Saved: to see Christ bring your salvation. — Wait on the Lord in quietness, rest from all your worldly non-essential activities, and have confidence that the Lord will remove the sin that he shows you, as you repent; thus you will be saved. There is no other way.] | Luke 24:47 47 And that repentance and release from bondage of sins [remission]1 should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. | ||||||||
