Things Men Can Do

Flee for refuge and lay hold of hope

Hebrews 6:18  

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.

Follow peace and holiness or commit sin and be lost

Hebrews 12:14  

Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Be kept by God’s power by committing their lives to Him

1 Peter 1:5  

Who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

Gird up the lions of their minds, hope for, and wait for salvation

1 Peter 1:13  

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Fashion themselves to their former lusts and be lost

1 Peter 1:14

 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

Lay aside all malice and sin and be saved or live in them and be lost

2 Peter 3:17  

Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.

Sin and die again, or live right and continue to live

Ezekiel 3:20  

“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
