Repentance
1. Repent and believe the Gospel
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye, and believe the gospel (Mark 1:15).
2. Except ye repent ye shall perish
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:4-5).
3. Sinners called to repentance
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32).
4. If one will not repent from hearing God’s word – A miracle will not persuade him
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead (Luke 16:30-31).
5. Repentance must be in deep humility, and followed by action
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants (Luke 15:18-19). Prodigal son parable in Luke 15:11-32.
6. Christ gives an example of true repentance
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner, I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted (Luke 18:13-14). Pharisee and Publican Parable in Luke 18:9-14.
7. Repentance of one sinner causes joy in heaven
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth (Luke 15:7, 10). Lost sheep parable in Luke 15:3-7, and lost coin parable in Luke 15:8-10.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (I Timothy 4:15).
