(Joel 3:13-17; 1 Peter 1:17-25)

Return to your God, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God. 
Hosea 12:6

Paul wrote: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost. But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life.
1 Timothy 1:15-16
