“Beware, Brethren, Lest There Be In Any Of You An Evil Heart Of Unbelief In Departing From The Living God; But Exhort One Another Daily, While It Is Called ‘TODAY,’ Lest Any Of You Be Hardened Through The Deceitfulness Of Sin. For We Have Become Partakers Of Christ If We Hold The Beginning Of Our Confidence Steadfast To The End, While It Is Said: ‘TODAY, If You Will Hear His Voice, Do Not Harden Your Hearts As In The Rebellion.’” Hebrews 3:12-15
