Repent Or Perish

"Jesus answered, 'Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." Luke 13:2-3 (NIV)

Luke records the words of Jesus, The Christ, saying that some sinners are no worse than other sinners. If they do not repent, then they will perish.

Christian believers are still sinners just as the non-believers are sinners. The only difference is that believers are sinners who have been saved by the grace of God. Only by belief and repentance are we saved. Salvation is not earned, it is a gift from God to those who believe that Jesus is His Son. (John 3:16 & Romans 10:9-10)
