To know the promised blessing of God's Word for salvation, properly prepare for it, rightly receive it, and diligently do it.
God's beautiful way of working faith into human hearts by His Word should move you to diligently hear His Word.
God's work of salvation in your life requires your active work pursuing Christ using the means He has provided.
Repentance unto life requires you to turn away from your wickedness unto God, seeking His mercy through Jesus Christ.
The straightforward truth of the gospel is that you must only believe in Christ to be saved by God and escape His wrath and curse.
When Christ's church is faithful, she proclaims faith and repentance as the only hope to escape God's just wrath and curse.
