You change your mind from thinking you do not need a Savior, to realizing that the Savior ( Jesus Christ) is the only hope you have Of Salvation.Unbelief in Christ becomes Belief in Christ— if one has done that , they have “ changed their mind” .....they have Repented in the manner in which God demands for Salvation...... Why would anyone want to sin? Perhaps it is fun.....perhaps it feels good.....Even the Bible proclaims That sin is “ pleasurable”— but ONLY “ for a season”. That last part is the part Satan trues to hide when he is trying to tempt or entice one into sinful behavior . No matter how you slice it— you can’t sin and get by. If a person thinks they've repented, but haven't repented of their sin, then I don't think they've repented yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A " sinnets prayer", a date, feeling sorry are not strong evidences of salvation. What you are saved by is what you are kept by. And since Jesus says He's the only one whose hand a Christian can never be plucked from it is Christ who saves and He who keeps. Even Satan believes in Jesus.. Repentance is more..it's a reliance on the imputed work of Christ who has made the Christian a new creation and sealed with the holy spirit for that day! Christ is the only anchor that does not fail; the only foundation that survived the storm. Don't build you house on sinking sand. Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid Ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid Ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone! - who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe. This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain: Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand Brilliant....will you marry me? Lol.... Does this song/ poem have a name? Edited January 14, 2020 by Blood Bought 1953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
