Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Some people claim that if we say repentance is necessary for salvation, we’re adding works to the Gospel. They claim that if repentance is required, then we’re no longer saved by God’s grace alone but, by what we do as well! But what does the Scripture say? Jesus says, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32). When Peter preached the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ in Acts chapter two, he left thousands of listeners wondering what they should do next in order to be saved. HE TOLD THEM TO REPENT FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF THEIR SINS! You can’t separate faith and repentance. To be saved, you must place faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins. THAT decision requires a change of mind, or REPENTANCE, about your way of life. Both happen at the same time. According to the unanimous testimony of Scripture, as we will see, repentance is ABSOLUTELY necessary in order to be saved. Only those who turn from their sin, trust in Christ, and live lives that are characterized by righteousness, will be saved on the last day. Repentance, properly defined, is NECESSARY for salvation. Biblical repentance is changing your mind about your sin—no longer is sin something to toy with; it is something to be forsaken as we “flee from the coming wrath” (Matthew 3:7). It is also changing your mind about Jesus Christ—no longer is He to be mocked, discounted, or ignored; He is the Savior to be clung to; He is the Lord to be worshiped and adored. Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
