Ezekiel 33:11 AMP Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back (change your way of thinking), turn back [in repentance] from your evil ways! For why you should die, O house of Israel?’
God’s pleasure and Joy is Love. In His love is SALVATION. He is calling me to change, that is, to repent to have life more abundantly, not death.
Psalm 147:11ESV but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
Family, friends, and/or the things of this world can't give me eternal life. Therefore, I turn from self and from the world to Jesus as my Savior.
