Seeing the NEED for the Gospel is what repentance is all about.....until you see that you ain’t so good as you think you are, you will never be “ good soil”—— receptive to the seed of the Gospel that saves you.

Knowing that Jesus is the “way of Salvation” as you say IS repentance —- it is all about seeing that you are a sinner who must have a Savior.That Savior is Jesus.The sin that must be repented Of is the sin of self-righteousness—- “ I may not be perfect, but I’m good enough to make it on my own, God knows that I am doing the best I can do!”

Please do not go out and by that fancy yacht just yet..... If Jesus was saying what you “ think” He was saying, you could throw out just about everything Paul ever write in his epistles.If Jesus was telling these guys, in essence “ Hey , guys, now is the time for you to straighten up and start keeping the Law so you will not go to Hell!”you might as well forget about how Abraham and all Believers after him were justified by faith ALONE. “ By the deeds of the Law, NO flesh will be justified.” Check out Gal 2:16.....” knowing that a man is justified by the works of the Law, b ut by the faith that is in Jesus Christ,even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law noflesh will be justified.” The self- righteous crowd Jesus was talking to was in no way unique.They needed to repent from unbelief in the One who was addressing them to belief in Him.They sure did need to repent! Just like everybody else. “Repentance towards God , with faith in Jesus Christ” sorry......no cigar, no million dollars

Even Hitler’s sins were payed for by the Blood Of the Lamb.This shows the necessity of repentance.Without it , one cant “ cash in” to what was alway done for you on the Cross.That is why Hitler is in Hell today.He never repented from his unbelief and that is what he will have in common with all the other denizens of that awful place.They never “ repented towards God, with faith in Jesus”. Poor Adolf.....I need to quit picking on him all the time....

I lifted this from another thread....I thought it might be pertainent to the discussion here... If you have a KJV handy, pick it up and find me any verse that states we have to repent of our sins to be saved.If you can do this, I can connect you with a Bible teacher that will give you one million dollars. Now please do not misunderstand me.I value repentance.In fact , one will not be saved without it.The word “ repentance” comes from the Greek word “ metanoia” which means to “ change your thinking”. The gospel of John does not mention the word “ repent” a single time.Does that not strike you as strange? There is a good reason for that.If you take somebody that does not think he is a sinner, or one who thinks he does not need Jesus to be his only chance of being saved, and give him the Gospel and he goes from UNBELIEF to BELIETH he has had a change of mind that will save him.He has experienced the “ repentance toward God with faith in Jesus Christ” that God demands for Salvation.That is why John did not feel compelled to use the specific word “repent”. He did not need to.He always stressed the word “BELIEVE”. He knew if one chooses to BELIEVE instead of choosing NOT to believe in Jesus as God in the Flesh who came to die for all of our sins, he has had the “ change of thinking” (repentance) that God requires.AFTER one is saved, by believing Jesus was who He said He was, the God- Given Spirit that enabled you repent and see the truth about your lost condition and the remedy for it, will make you feel like a rat when you sin in your daily walk and that is the type of repentance that will make you confess your sin to God in order to restore fellowship.Yes, repentance has to happen, but we must understand what it is—— here is what it sounds like—- “ Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner” This person has proclaimed that he knows he is a sinner who needs a Savior....without that change of mind in a persons life that person is lost and will stay lost.I hope we can agree on these things.The desire to stop sinning is great and I am sure God is pleased with your intentions. I have that desire also but I realize my obedience to the Law did not save me and does not keep me saved—- only my faith in the Shed Blood Of Christ and nothing else accomplished that .The Shed Blood used to mean nothing to me....now it is everything. I changed my mind about that. I repented. Now I am saved.God bless.

Jesus will only be taking the wives that have oil in their lamps ....”oil” is symbolic of the Holy Spirit in Scripture......How does one get that Holy Spirit? “Ask and you shall receive”......”Turn to me and I will turn to you” ——- That is the Repentance God demands for Salvation, the turning to Him part, not repenting of sins in order to be saved.That is not Biblical, believe it or not. It is not possible either.God never demands the impossible.Believe Paul’s Gospel given to him by Christ for your salvation 1Cor15:1-4......... and NEVER add to it.......you could wind up “ accursed”, damned by God to Hell......Paul’s words, not mine. -
I have been riding since I was 15..... 50 years of riding and the only reason I am alive I s that I have learned to assume anybody at a red light or intersection that CAN pull out on me WILL pull out in front of me.I have my hand poised to pull the front brake and watch the guy at the intersection like a hawk.90 % of biker deaths happen to those riding less than 6 months— they never learned that lesson in many cases, until it was too late.I pray a lot too—- always before I leave my driveway.That is the best thing to do.

In response to 1Sheep.....3 posts back It is a gift of God, via the transformed heart , that heart that has been made contrite and able to become “ good soil”, ready to receive the good seed of the Gospel Message . All one can do is throw it out there to be heard and believed.The contrite heart goes hand in hand with “ ears to hear”.You can’t be a Christian without them.Lost souls need to ask for a set of those .” All who ask receive”. It worked for me.

Proverb 14:12........ There is a way that sounds right to man, but in the end brings destruction Believing correct doctrine is all - important in this lifetime.The ramifications of what one believes has eternal consequences.I would suggest one start with this——- 1Cor15:1-4. Guaranteed to save if simply believed and not added to.

Wow......all these spelling korections......tough crowd ! Lol......

The fact that I can’t ride my Harley for almost half the year here in southern Ohio is awful. My best friend goes to Florida in the winter but claims riding down there is so boring because of the lack of hills or curvy roads or anything of interest, He no longer takes his bike with him. So what’s an Outlaw Biker like myself to do? Lol......

Where are those unconfessed sins? They are with all the other sins of the world that Jesus took away. They were nailed to a Cross 2000 years ago.Jesus was “ the sufficient payment for sin” . Every sin ever to be committed. A “ one time sacrifice”. We are not saved by the timely and opportune repentance that you mention.That is what I call “ lucky repentance”. The Blood Sacrifice is not adequate alone to save. We have to believe the Gospel AND keep out repentance ledgers up to date or we are damned.Pity the man that cursed after a car wreck and did not have time to repent before he died. If that man believed that Jesus died for his sins and the Shed Blood was the ONLY hope for his salvation , his sins were covered at his death. Nothing but the Blood.Those That do not get a lucky repentance are safe if they believe the Gospel plus nothing saves. The one who is actually in danger is the man who does not really believe that Jesus died for his sins.When one believes that Jesus saves, BUT you gotta repent to “ stay” saved have added to the Gospel and the death of Christ has no effect. They have fallen from Grace and according to Paul are accursed.As a saved Believer, I repent every day to restore fellowship with God . I am already forgiven .I am forgiven because I repented ( changed my mind) from unbelief in Jesus and Him only for Salvation to believing that Faith in the Shed Blood Of Jesus was the ONLY thing that can save me.Check out the lyrics to the old song “ Nothing But The Blood”—- it contains everything one needs to know about Salvation.Nothing about a “ timely,fortunate repentance”to be found in it.Faith plus nothing for Salvation.Its a free gift to those that do not work for it.

Didn’t Jesus tell Some that their father was the devil? We are all God’s creation , but not all of us are Gof’s Children......one must be “ born again” to be a Child of God.Just thought this might be an opportune time to throw that out there.

1Cor12:3. “...... no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,except by the Holy Spirit”. Some preachers say that when God puts His Spirit in you, you will know it.Without a doubt.That was my experience.I experienced “the peace that passes all understanding”.Trust me, I was the last person on Earth who should have been blessed in this manner.God says “ turn to me and I will turn to you”. Great advice that still works .

“I am writing this to you so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life—- you that believe in the Son of God. 1John 5:13 If That is not a “GUARANTEE” of Salvation........what would it take to suffice ?
