Verse for Today Reflection
God’s call for repentance and transformation is not limited to a specific group or nation but is extended to every person across the globe. This universality challenges believers to look beyond their communities and consider their role in sharing their faith with others. Repentance in this context is more than feeling remorse; it is about a change of heart and mind that leads to a different way of living. This reflects the Christian belief in turning away from past ignorance and sin and moving towards a life that honors God.
