Repentance is the access to God’s forgiveness and provides an opportunity to change from what we are to what God has intended for us to be. Luke13:3 reads “except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Preparation helps us to continue to grow and become the people God intended for us to be. Matthew 11:29 reads Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your souls. Service provides an avenue to help others experience the goodness of God for themselves by the life they live and the service they give. Romans 12:1 reads, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service.
