Repentance is the starting point of our journey into God. Repentance means turning away from anything and everything that offends God in our lives. Everything that the Bible describes as sinful is to be repented of. Sins of the actions, sins of the heart and sins of words. Gal.5:19-21 (NLT) 19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Refusal to repent means we are doomed for eternity. However, God has made a way out for us through His Son Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 (NLT) 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Romans 6:23 (NLT) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 10:9-10 (NLT) 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 1 Corinthian 5:17 (NLT) 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! The Prayer of Salvation Dear Jesus Christ I acknowledge you as LORD and Saviour of My Life I believe in your sacrificial death on the Cross of Calvary I confess my sins before you I ask for your forgiveness Make me a new creature Start a new relationship with me today Write my name in the Book of Life Give me the power to live to please you in all things I renounce Satan and all his influence over my life From today I pledge my allegiance to God and to His Kingdom Give me your Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth In Jesus name I pray Areas of Repentance for Believers In Christ Repentance from Lukewarmness – Rev.3:15-19 Repentance from Prayerlessness – Luke 18:1; 21:36; 1 Thess. 5:17 Repentance from Worldliness – 2 Cor.6:14-18; Jam.4:4; 1 Jn.2:15-17 Repentance from Wordlessness – 2 Tim.2:15 Repentance from Fruitlessness – John 15:2 Repentance from Lack of Fellowship With Likeminded Believers – Heb.10:25 Repentance from Lack of Evangelism and Soul Winning – Mk.16:15 Repentance from Financial Idolatry – 1 Tim.6:10 Repentance from Disobedience To Heavenly Calling and Commissions – Acts 26:19 Repentance from Insensitivity to The Holy Spirit – Rev.2:7a
