to mature manhood to the extent of the full stature of Christ, ... we should grow in every way into him. Ephesians 4:7-16
if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Luke 13:1-9
Into your hands I commend my soul.
Blessed Charles de Foucauld
CCC 115-119 We can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing their significance in Christ...The events reported in Scripture ought to lead us to act justly...We can view realities and events in terms of their eternal significance, leading us toward our true homeland. (CCC 117)
If I refuse to grow into Christ, am I ready to suffer the consequences of my refusal? Do I not want to be able to tell God, at the end of my life, I put my soul into your hands? I shouldn't even wait for the end of my life, I need to do so now - for that is part of growing into Christ. There is eternal significance in what Jesus says to me - if I don't turn away from sin, and put my soul into his hands, then I will perish forever.
