De mensen die leven zoals Ik het wil, zullen door hun geloof leven. Maar als ze lui worden in hun geloof [en Mij niet meer gehoorzamen], kan Ik niet meer blij met hen zijn."
Wat betekent dit?
This verse tells us that those who are righteous will live by faith. But if someone turns their back on God, he won't have any pleasure in them. It's from the book of Hebrews.
