His Word is Sent to Heal Us

 In Matthew 3:7-9, John is teaching the Pharisees and Sadducees, that just watching and scoffing, by thinking you are exempt from the ax poised to chop… because of coming from Abraham… you got another think coming🔥Psalms 107:20-22

“He sent his word, and healed them,

and delivered them from their destructions.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,

and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and declare his works with rejoicing.”

Knowing Jesus at His Word, will cause repentance to come, but deciding to live it out is on you. Matthew 3:7-10:

“But when he saw many coming from among the wealthy elite of Jewish society and many of the religious leaders known as Pharisees coming to witness the baptism, he began to denounce them, saying, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to slither away like snakes from the fire of God’s judgment? You must prove your repentance by a changed life. And don’t presume you can get away with merely saying to yourselves, ‘But we’re Abraham’s descendants!’ For I tell you, God can awaken these stones to become sons of Abraham! The axe is now ready to cut down the trees at their very roots. Every fruitless, rotten tree will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
