GENESIS
Prov. 1:10, 4:14, 9:6; 2 Cor. 6:14-17; Eph. 1:11; 2 Thess.
3 : 16). 2. By assuming the posture of piety (piosity, religiosity)
, while conforming more and more to the ways
of the world (ecthe lust of the flesh and the lust of the

God Come to his rescue. Likewise, all sinners will eventually
perish in hell, unless they heed God’s call to repentance
. (Luke . 13:3, Matt. 25:46, Rev. 6:16-17).
