“ Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance :”
King James Version (KJV(
re·pent·ance
the action of repenting; sincere regret or remorse. "each person who turns to God in genuine repentance and faith will be saved"
What does it mean to repent in the Bible?
" Repentance is a change of heart and mind that brings us closer to God. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and a sincere desire to obey His commandments."
What does repentance look like?
Some changes do take time depending on your enslaved situation. What attributes are associated with repentance because some people who are true believers can drift between two Kingdoms thinking religiously it is loving your enemy. It's not about loving your enemies alone but walking in the spirit not that of the flesh. You need to live the new life separated from sin as a separate people. Fornication and idolatry is evil in the sight of the living God. Chanting is also wicked. This is called sorcery. Praying to anybody else but the God of Israel who is Jesus Christ is considered a necromancer. Colossians 2:9
Repentance means to have a change of heart/mind but to really change whatever it is you're doing no matter what people think about you. For example are you a fornicator and a dirty mind. Are you a drunk staggering around? Do you have a wicked tongue that takes God's name in vain consistently and also swears and has toxic words that come out of your heart belittling people and raising your own evil wicked self in pride. If you die in your sins you stand a very great chance to hear that Christ never knew you and you will be a new arrival in hell. You see you then don't abide in him if that is the case. Salvation is pending. Don't take it for granted. Salvation is a free gift based on God's mercy and God's grace. While we were yet sinners Christ loved us and died for us but we should not think to trample the blood, abuse grace and think little respect of God's mercy.
The Bible says " know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
God knows all your thoughts and with God all things are possible and yes he could read the thoughts of millions and millions of people. God is beyond our understanding. Our minds cant comprehend the full scope of a true living God. He only gave us so much about himself. But he gave us the opportunity to know him and call upon him, get saved and live a new life in Christ. Some people are religious and go through religious dogma but there's very little change even though some of these people are not out there doing evil things and actually they're probably good providers. But God judges on high standards. God's judgments are true and he tells us there needs to be a change in that wicked stone heart. Here's what God tells us..
"26 And I will give you ia new heart, and ia new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh ."
Once this happens you will be able to abide in Christ and you will be known by God. But repentance isn't just I am sorry. There needs to be a change in your attitude and in whatever is enslaving you in this life. Many people live day by day thinking that they have changed but some momentarily but not indefinitely. This type of change needs commitment and a desire to really overcome those things that are burdening you and weighing you down. Pride and adultery are evil in the sight of a living God. Satan it was found that he had pride in his own vanity.
" Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty ; Ezekiel 28:12 to 18 Arrogance is evil but goldy boldness when it's applied to Godliness/contending for the faith is more or less acceptable. God highly esteems a contrite individual. The truth is that so many times we are preoccupied by things of this world that don't bear the type of fruit that would make a holy God content or even that is acceptable. Faith is required. We must not put our flesh first but we are commanded to love God with everything we have and to know him. We have one life and then comes the judgment and yet so many people don't understand what life is all about. They think life is having fun or just filled with laughter, parting and jokes. Other people they think life is about picking up chicks or picking up guys or living a luxurious life. Other people life to them is stealing and corruption. When you breathe your last breath most likely you're going to come into judgment if you're not truly saved. When you live a wicked life eventually sin catches up with you because the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is everlasting life. John 3:16.
Now it's been put on my heart today that I'm to give this message on repentance and it's extremely important. People don't take the time to read the Bible because it truly is the living word of God and it is also an instruction manual on life. Yes it is the most popular book in the world and for some people it is the most hated book. Could you imagine you hate your own creator and one day you're going to stand before him and give a full accounting for your life. I strongly suggest that you take the time to open the Bible and read because there's no other name but that of the biblical Lord Jesus Christ given unto man in which he can find salvation. You could accumulate things but they can't save your soul and the only thing that can save your soul is Jesus Christ who shed his blood on the cross at calvary. I caution you because Christ went through certain towns and cursed them because they failed to repent. Sodom and Gomorrah failed to repent and they inherited eternal damnation and God flooded the whole world once so God judges the living and the dead. 2 Timothy 4:1 I urge you to seek and call on the God of the Bible. Call out to Jesus Christ. Cry out to save a wretch like you and put repentance into action . You got to put God before everything else.
