Will you willingly repent and turn to the Lord or will he purify you until change comes?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, do not turn away God’s messengers who come before you preaching repentance, those messengers were sent to by God to prepare the way for his coming. Many say they have heard from old that the Lord is coming, and therefore believe, that, since he has not yet made an appearance that he is not coming, but make no mistake, God’s promises are true. If you fail to turn to God willingly, he will be begin to work on you, to refine you as silver and gold, until you repent and present your body as a living sacrifice to him, until you are pleasing to him. Do not be deceived; we may not know the day or the hour in which he will make his appearance, but, he will come, and those who have prepared for his coming will greet him with joy. Praise the Lord!
