The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Therefore, say to the people, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.’
Zechariah 1:3
The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
2 Peter 3:9
O Gracious King, our sins are many and we sometimes stray, yet your patience with us knows no bounds. As you call us to return, may we come to you with repentance and the hope for everlasting life. In your name, we pray. Amen.
