"...if they repent with all their mind and with all their heart in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name, then hear in heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause and forgive your people who have sinned against you..." 1 Kings 8:48-50

Solomon, when praying to dedicate God's temple, prayed that people would repent and be forgiven by God. God has many blessings in store for those who obey Him. If people humble themselves and turn from sin to God, God grants forgiveness. IF is only two letters long but it is a big word. Eternal destinies hinge on IF. IF is a matter of life and death. If we believe in Jesus and His finished work at the Cross we are shown to be God's chosen children. Where do you stand in relation to God?
