poolboy22v Repentance is a change of mind that leads to a change of heart that leads to a change in actions. This change involves both a turning from the darkness of sin and a turning to Christ who is the light of the world. Acts 26:18 "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Repentance in the scripture is defined as a turning from all sin. Ezekiel 18:30 "..."Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin." 1 Thessalonians 1:9 "...ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;" Ezekiel 14:6 "...Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations." Repentance is a gracious free gift of God, and not works as some have erroneously and foolishly concluded. Acts 5:31 "...for to GIVE repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins." 2 Timothy 2:25 "...if God peradventure will GIVE them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;" Acts 11:18 "...Then hath God also to the Gentiles GRANTED repentance unto life." Repentance and Faith are heads and tails of the same coin, you can't have one without the other, if a person says I don't believe in repenting of sins for salvation they don't have true faith, and are not trusting Christ alone. Acts 20:21 "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Mark 1:15 "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Because repentance is a free gift from God, Sinners have no excuse not to repent, no matter how enslaved they are to their sins, and no matter how impossible humanly speaking it is to turn from sin. When God commands The Impossible he makes it possible. Matthew 12:13 "Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other," Acts 17:30 "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:" When God gives repentance the change of heart is so great that there are works that follow, these Works have nothing to do with our Salvation they are just an Evidence of it. Jonah 3:10 "And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not." Also some use the excuse not to repent of their sins because it says in the scripture God repented. However when it says God repented it doesn't mean that God changed his mind, because the Bible says that God cannot change, it simply means that God changed his course of action and God has the Sovereign right to do this. Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Some erroneously teach that you only repent of one sin and that is the sin of unbelief however in the Book of Revelation we see that God expects repentance from all sin. Revelation 9:20-21 "And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." Anyone who teaches that you can embrace all your sins and embrace Christ at the same time is teaching a lie. 2 Timothy 2:19 "Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." The best way to create false converts is the methodology of 1- 2- 3 repeat after me, which teaches Lost Sinner's to honor God with their mouths while their heart is far from him. Matthew 15:8 "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me." Not once in the scripture do we ever see any of the prophets, Apostles, John the Baptist, or Jesus Christ ask a sinner to repeat a prayer after them, even after Adam and Eve had broken Gods law and had been confronted by God about it, he did not ask them to repeat a prayer after him, but in these last days this has become a popular way of accumulating professions that we can boast in. 1 Corinthians 3:6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Unregenerate men are the enemies of God in their mind through Wicked works and yet we have some modern day Bible teachers that say that sinners don't need to change their mind and turn from these Wicked works when they come to Christ. (The gift of repentance takes place in the heart and in the mind) Romans 8:7 "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." If a person is a product of repeat this prayer after me and have never repented of their sins they are still a worker of iniquity and they don't have saving faith. Matthew 7:22-23 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." If a person absolutely refuses to repent of their sins because they love their sins then Jesus has a thought for you to ponder. Mark 9:43-48 "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Also unbelief is a transgression of the moral law just like any sin, and for modern day Bible teachers to say that sinners have the power to turn from this sin, but do not have the power to turn from other sins is pure blasphemy, they underestimates the gift of repentance and the power of God. They have no scripture to support this heresy just their own carnal wicked reasoning. 1 John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." Many false teachers give sinners a false hope that they will receive Mercy from the Lord without forsaking their sins and trusting Christ alone but this verse of scripture tells us otherwise. We only have two options with sin repent of it, or cover it. Proverbs 28:13 "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Why do people hate the thought that they would have to turn from their dark ways and turn to Christ who is the light of the world. John 3:19-20 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
