The NT stresses that Jesus Christ brings the faith of OT believers to perfection and to its proper fulfilment.
2. Repent; turn from sin to God.
repentance
A change of mind leading to a change of action.
It involves a sincere turning from sin to serve God and includes sorrow for, and confession of, sin and where possible restitution.
At points, Scripture refers to God changing his plans in response to events.

A public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ, acknowledging both his divinity and his lordship.
Without such, salvation is impossible.

E. “Follow me as I follow Christ,” said Paul.The first verse of this chapter seems properly to be the close to the last.
