In the venacular or language of the street this sign tells folk to repent!

Repentance Produces Love

[I believe repentance] . . . produces love. Wherefore Paul when he had put the church in remembrance that they were called of God; added concerning brotherly love they had no need that he should write unto them. If God be so kind to us, to forgive us our sins, to save our souls, and to give us the kingdom of heaven; let these be motives beyond all others to provoke us to love again. Further, if we who are beloved of God are made members of one man’s body all partakers of his grace; clothed all with his glorious righteousness; and are together appointed to be the children of the next world; why should we not love one another?

            Beloved, if God so loved us we ought also to love one another (1 Joh 4: 11). And truly so we shall if the true grace of God be upon us. Because we also see them to be the called of Jesus. Travelers that are of the same country, love and take pleasure in one another when they meet in a strange land. We sojourn here in a strange country; with them that are heirs together with us of the promised kingdom and glory (Hebrews 11: 9). Now as I say, this holy love produces works by its love. Love in God, and Christ, when discovered, compels us to love.

The name, and word, and truth of God in Christ together with the sincerity of this grace; of faith, and holiness that is in us, are the delightful objects of this love.
