REPENT (OR REPENTANCE)!

 

Folks, Many People (Even, Self-Professing “Christians”) Can Be (OR Are) Confused About The Meaning Of REPENT; And That’s Because REPENT Has A Different Meaning, Depending On Your Stance With Jesus Christ!

REPENT (For Yet-To-Be-Believers): Means To Turn Away From One’s Previous Way Of Thinking, To Have A Change Of Mind (OR Perspective), When It Comes To Jesus Christ AND THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy)!

REPENT (For Us, The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty): Means To Turn Away From Sin And Back To GOD Almighty (Through Jesus Christ); BUT, Is NOT To Be Confused With Confessing Our Sins To GOD Almighty (Through Our Mediator Jesus Christ)!

Now, To REPENT (For Yet-To-Be-Believers) Means, That A Person (Yet-To-Be-Believers) Has Thought It Over (Changing His OR Her Mind) About GOD Almighty, AND Jesus Christ; And Now, Accepts EVERYTHING That THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including Holy Bible Prophecy) Says – As THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH; In Other Words, They Have Come To A SAVING Knowledge Of Jesus Christ (Through The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

Romans 6:23

FOR THE WAGES (The Payment DUE) OF SIN (To Rebel AGAINST GOD Almighty, To Miss The Mark Of GOD Almighty’s AND Jesus Christ’s Perfect Standard Of Righteousness, i.e., The Sin-Debt) – IS DEATH (BOTH Physical Death Of The Natural Body, AND THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); BUT, THE GIFT OF GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION) – IS ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER) – IN (AND THROUGH) CHRIST JESUS, OUR LORD!

1 Corinthians 15:1-2a & 3-6a

Moreover, Brethren, I Declare To YOU (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) – THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS), Which I Preached To YOU, Which Also – YOU Received (Through The Holy Spirit), And In Which – YOU Stand (FIRM – IN The Faith Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), By Which Also – YOU ARE SAVED (FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!  For I Delivered To YOU, First Of All, THAT Which I Also Received (Through The Holy Spirit): That, Christ DIED For Our Sins, According To THE SCRIPTURES (THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH – The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy), And That, HE (Jesus) Was BURIED, And That, HE (Jesus) ROSE (ALIVE) AGAIN – The Third Day, According To THE SCRIPTURES (THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH – The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy), And That, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE) – By Cephas (aka Peter), Then (Seen ALIVE) – By The Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples)!  After That, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE) – By Over Five Hundred Brethren At Once (Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, AND The Imminent PRE-Tribulation Being CAUGHT UP Together Of The Church – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

In Other Words, THEY (Yet-To-Be-Believers) Have Acknowledged GOD Almighty’s Amazing SAVING Grace, AND More Importantly, THEY (Yet-To-Be-Believers) Have Accepted GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION; Which COMES ONLY – THROUGH Jesus Christ (Read John 3:16, John 14:6, John 3:5-7, Romans 10:8-10 & 13, And Ephesians 2:8-10, etc.); Thereby Joining Us (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), AND Receiving Unto THEMSELVES – THE HOPE OF EVERLASTING LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); Thereby, Being SAVED From THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER!

AND FINALLY . . .

2 Peter 3:9

THE LORD (GOD Almighty) IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE, AS SOME COUNT SLACKNESS; BUT, (GOD Almighty) IS LONGSUFFERING (Patient) TOWARD US (Mankind), NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH (IN THE LAKE OF FIRE, THE SECOND DEATH – EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); BUT, THAT ALL (Mankind) SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE (SALVATION – THROUGH The SAVING Knowledge Of Jesus Christ)!

Mark 1:15b

“REPENT, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL (THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH – The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy)!”

It’s Time To Get Jesus To People, And People To Jesus, As Quickly As We Possibly Can; BEFORE, IT’S TOO LATE – FOR THEM!  Amen.
