So stay alert and keep praying consistently, asking that you'll be found worthy to escape all the chaos that's coming and to actually stand before Jesus himself.

So actually show that you've changed — don't just talk about it. And don't think you're automatically good with God just because you come from the right family. Trust me, God could turn these rocks into Abraham's descendants if he wanted to.
