"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this." (Isaiah 9:6-7, ESV)
therefore
"...as the Holy Spirit says, 'Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness..." (Hebrews 3:8, ESV)
because
"Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we (you) may not perish." (Jonah 3:9, ESV)
so
"Repent therefore and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out..." (Acts 3:19, ESV)
because
"For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:23, ESV)
Great Christmas message Gregg.
