‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Take your broken car to the mechanic and afterward you’ll be seen driving it away running like new.

Evidence of repentance is witnessed in life change.  

John confronted the priests in attendance at the Jordan baptisms with this most basic truth about following Jesus. 

Change follows any encounter with our creator.

James 2: Faith without works is dead. Faith is the root and works is its fruit.  

The rule of continuity is fundamental to human development. 

Presto changeo and redemption’s evidence appears. 

So produce fruit in accordance with repentance. Nobody arrives grandfathered into God’s kingdom. 

Seeing is believing.
