Did you get it? It says, “repent or perish.” The word, repent, means to turn away from something. Is there anything in your life you need to repent of? Please take a few minutes to think about it. Then, ask yourself this question: have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain (this is called blasphemy)? If you have, these should be on your list of things you need to repent of. Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you will likewise perish.” He requires you to repent of your sins (lying, stealing and blaspheming) because He doesn’t want you to go to hell. The Bible says, “God demonstrated His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Instead of you paying the penalty for your sins, Christ did. Then He rose from the grave and defeated death. If you will repent (turn from your sin) and put your faith in Jesus Christ, He will forgive your sin and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Please read John 14:21
