“Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up.”-1 Peter 5:6
Jesus came to earth to seek & save those who are lost. He gave His life on the cross so that our sins will be forgiven & we can have the opportunity to live in freedom. Do you feel tired & lost today? Jesus is looking for you! He is earnest in taking you back in His arms and it will give Him great joy if you humbly repent & turn away from the sin that is weighing you down.
Repentance is indeed a wonderful gift from Him. It’s like an open door waiting for us to enter into for a fresh & brand new start.
Jesus said, “I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”- Luke 15:7
Jesus said “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”- Luke 5:32
God commands repentance and yet, repentance is a gift from Him. He makes the opportunity to repent available to those who will humble themselves & listen to His call. Today, if you hear God’s call to repentance, you have the choice set before you. Be wise & choose life!
“Repent & turn away from your sins. Don’t let it destroy you. Put all your rebellion behind you, and find yourselves a new heart & a new spirit. For why should you die? I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!”– Ezekiel 18:31-32
When God tells you that there’s something wrong with you, how do you respond to Him?
Many people easily say “I am sorry”, but fail to realize that repentance is not just a confession but a genuine change of heart & attitude. Repentance is not damage control in order to save face or not suffer losses. A true repentant person doesn’t care about his losses. True repentance carries a deep desire to change before God. It is crying out for Jesus. It is rest for His soul.
“For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin & results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.” -2 Corinthians 7:10
Repentance begins with a “change of heart” and results with a “change of deeds & actions”. There’s no forgiveness without true & genuine repentance. In this message, we will learn the signs of a person who is truly repentant & the dangerous consequences of those who are not.
“If we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins”- Hebrews 10:26
