I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. John the Baptist’s Message of Repentance Matthew 3:8īear fruit in keeping with repentance. Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and he relents over disaster. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? Joel 2:13Īnd rend your hearts and not your garments. None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. Ezekiel 18:21-23īut if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live he shall not die. It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the disaster that I intend to do to them because of their evil deeds. Seek the Lord while he may be found call upon him while he is near let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. I confess my iniquity I am sorry for my sin. If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Don’t wait another day-come before God with a humble heart, confess your sins, and ask Him to forgive you and save you by His grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone! Old Testament Bible Verses about Repentance 2 Chronicles 7:14 If you have never repented of your sins and turned to Jesus Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to do so today! The Bible says that now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Without repentance, there can be no forgiveness (Luke 13:3). In fact, it is the very first step in coming to faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38). Repentance is not optional if we want to have a relationship with God. When we repent and turn back to Him, He forgives us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). No matter what our sin may be, the consequences are the same-separation from God. Sin can be an action, like lying or stealing, or it can be a thought, like hatred or jealousy. It is anything that falls short of His perfect standards. Sin is anything that goes against God’s laws. In order to repent, we must first understand what sin is. We want to worship God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Instead, we want to know Him and follow His teachings. We no longer want to live in disobedience to God. We are confessing that we have sinned and want to turn away from our old way of life. When we repent, we are acknowledging our need for God’s forgiveness and grace. We repent because we have sinned against God and we want to be forgiven. It is a turning from our sinful ways and towards God. The Bible teaches that repentance is a change of heart and life regarding sin. The dictionary defines repentance as “to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct to change one’s mind regarding past behavior.”
