But in a any relationship, there has to be repentance as a way to life. That's why repentance is one of the foundational doctrine of the christian faith . In Hebrews 6 , It is of the same importance as faith. definition Repentance in more than sorrow or remorse. The word repentance is made up of two words: re (to go back), pent (the top level: pent house the top level of the house). To repent means to go back to the top, to go higher. When you go up higher, everything looks different from the top. You see things as God sees them, then you will change the way you live. The change in action is the fruit of repentance. The purpose of any ministry should be to take you higher so that you will see things the way God sees them and you will change the way you think and the way you live. Repentance is a way of life. We are to go from one level of glory to another. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.( Proverbs 4:18) Edited September 2, 2019 by Worship Warriors 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the line; “repentance is a way of life” For it most certainly is. Blessed are they that see this. For in repentance from the works of self and faith towards God, is all growth.

We are to go from one level of glory to another. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.( Proverbs 4:18) We can discuss Repentance as much as one likes— we should! Nobody gets saved without it.We just have to understand what it is and what it is not.Repentance is “ a changing of one’s mind” about Jesus. Going from no faith in Jesus to faith in Jesus is what is required to save a person. “Repenting from sins”is a great thing but nowhere in the KJV is it connected to getting saved—- that is by Grace ,through Faith .We do not turn “from”sins to be saved . We turn “ to” God with faith in Jesus to be saved. Repentance also does not “ keep” us Saved .People have taken that word to completely annihilate Grace.If you commit a sin as a Believer and forget to repent of it before you die, it is covered by Grace -as a Member Of The Body Of Christ ALL of your sins are forgiven......that delusional thinking that one’s Repentance Slate must be clean as a whistle in order to be saved is ridiculous on its face—- you got millions of sins you have completely forgotten about— maybe you think forgiveness only goes to them with total recall.Worry is a sin— it shows a lack of faith. How many of those sins have you repented of? Don’t embark on a “fool’s errand” Trust in the Grace Of God, Thank Him for it.Rest in it .Dont be guilty of “Unbelief” , a precarious place to find one’s self in.....God bless "Repentance, as it relates to Christ, means to change our minds about Him, who He is and what He's done to provide forgiveness, and deliverance from our sins. When we place faith in Jesus as having taken our place personally on the cross and borne the penalty due our sins, then we're automatically repenting, because we couldn't accept Him in this way without having had to change our minds in some way concerning Him." "What place has repentance in salvation? Should we tell people to repent of their sins to be saved? The Gospel of John is the Holy Spirit's Gospel Tract, written that men might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing they might have life through His name (20:31). And it does not mention the word 'repentance'. But that is only because repentance is a necessary part of saving faith. Strictly speaking, the repentance means a 'change of mind'. It is by no means the same thing as sorrow (II Corinthians 7:10). Since it is not possible to an unbeliever to become a believer without changing his mind, it is therefore unnecessary to say anything about it. The only thing for a man to do in order to be saved is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ: and to believe on Him is the same thing as receiving Him (John 1:11- Edited September 3, 2019 by Blood Bought 1953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things may not be what the individual wants.....and they may not be what the world wants as some kind of proof that a person is saved.Thank God for His Wisdom— he does not bestow our “ wants”—- He gives us what we “ need” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
