Life Application
Consider these questions:
- Have I truly trusted in Jesus Christ?
- Am I relying on Christ or my own efforts?
- Have I turned toward God in repentance?
- Is my confidence resting in Christ alone?

He calls us to turn to Christ and trust Him completely.
The gospel invitation remains open:
Repent and believe.
