Luke 13:3 CJB

Yeshua (Jesus), makes it clear here we can’t continue in sin and expect everything to just somehow work out! Yeshua’s (Jesus), desire for us is to walk in His ways and give up our ways, which usually is sin! Also don’t look at others as if they are worse. The focus should be us and the LORD!

“Then I will tell them to their faces, I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!”
