Luk 3:7 | MHM | STEP | v. 7-9 : John warned the crowds, including religious leaders, that being part of Abraham’s family or having a religious background was not enough. He called them a “generation of vipers” and told them to show real change in their lives—“fruits worthy of repentance.” Relying on family history or outward religion would not save them. God expects real change. He said the “axe is laid to the root of the trees,” meaning judgment is coming for those who do not truly turn to God.
