13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Call to repentance                After you read this - Chick Here - To See if you are as Rotten as I Am

• If our Lord an Master, Jesus Christ, says: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Mt. 4:17), He wants the whole life of the believer to be one of repentance.
• This repentance begins with a new consciousness and grief about the former wrong behaviour, not only as individuals but also the church as a whole.
• If there is true repentance it leads to the individual and the church hating sin and departing from both it and wrong behaviour – not through their own power but through the grace and power of Jesus Christ.
• God promises the repentant forgiveness and a new beginning (2 Chron. 7:13-14).
• Let Us Then Stand In Awe, And Sinnot. Let Us Fear The Lord's Displeasure, Hope In His Mercy, And Walk In His Commandments.

The present situation of society

• People today indulge in many sins such as godlessness, pride, lovelessness, occultism, disobedience, abortion, immorality, adultery, homosexualism, drug abuse, lies, greed and robbery (Ex. 20:2-17; Rom. 1:18-31; 1 Cor. 6: 9; Gal. 5:19-21).
• Certain sins were always committed, but today many of them are openly tolerated and even put on a pedestal: "[They] not only do the same, but have pleasure in those that do them" (Rom. 1:32).
• In many countries laws that forbad blasphemy, pornography, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, drug abuse and the like, have been slackened or annulled.
• A society that tolerates or even openly encourages such activities that the Holy Scripture says are "sin" or "abominable" in God’s eyes, digs its own grave. It is ready for judgement. "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Prov. 14:34).
• Many nations today are in a similar situation than the Roman empire before its downfall. The internal cause of its downfall was the moral decay.
• It is only a question of time before the national and social systems that reject God’s commandments today, will collapse.
