Positive Quote for the Week: Repentance is a Necessity

What does it meant to repent? When you repent, you are completely surrendering to God and His Purpose which includes turning away from all sin. It is an absolute change from the old you, letting go of the things that prevent you from strengthening your relationship with the Lord. It is a renewing of your mind Romans 12:2. It is going to take humility and trust and you have to be willing to completely humble yourself before Jesus professing that you are a sinner but you genuinely want to transform the way you’ve been living and have a connection with Him.

You are not alone, every single one of us struggles with one thing or another that creates a barrier between us and the Lord. The fact of the matter is sin comes in many different forms and one misconception is that a sin that is not exposed externally is not as extreme as one that is hidden behind closed doors. Sin is sin and there is no way of getting around it.

So why is sin so bad when it comes to repentance? When you live in sin, you are giving the devil legal right to cause destruction in your life. The demons are energized when you participate in things that the Lord specifically tells us not to do in His Word. Sin gives them the ability to oppress, torment, afflict, and harm you because you have open doors that they can come in and wreak havoc. That is why you have to turn completely away from your sin and shut all doors to the enemy!

Scriptures pertaining to repentance:

Acts 3:19 “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.”

Matthew 4:17 “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 3:8 “Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance.”

Matthew 3:2 “and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
