REPENT......OR.....

MANY  CHRISTIANS  SAY  THEY  HAVE  JESUS  AS  THEIR  SAVIOR;  THEY  SAY  HE  IS  IN  THEIR  LIFE.

THAT  IS  ALL  WELL  AND  GOOD,  BUT  HOW  MANY  CHRISTIANS  READ  THE WORDS  OF  CHRIST,  I  MEAN  ALL  OF  THEM  IN  EACH  GOSPEL.  THEN  AGAIN  IF  THEY  DO,  DO  THEY  BELIEVE  JESUS?

THERE  MAY  BE  MANY  THINGS  THAT  MAKE  UP  BEING  A  CHRISTIAN;  THERE  IS  ONE  THING  THAT  IS  A  MUST,  IF  IT  IS  NOT,  YOU  WILL  PERISH!

HERE  IS  HOW  JESUS  PUT  IT:  "There  were  present  at  that  season  some  who  told  him  of  the  Galilaeans,  whose  blood  Pilate  had  mingled  with  their  sacrifices.  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Suppose  you  that  these  Galilaeans  were  sinners  abouve  all  the  Galilaeans,  because  they  suffered  such  things?  I  tell  you,  No:  but  except  YOU  REPENT,  you  shall  all  likewise  PERISH!" (Luke 13:1-3).

Jesus  went  on  to  repeat  it  again,  but  with  an  example  of    18  people  that  the  tower  of  Siloam  fell  on,  killing  them.

JESUS  TAUGHT   THAT  IF  YOU  WERE  NOT  GOING  TO  PERISH,  YOU  HAD  TO  REPENT!

PRETTY  STRAIGHT  FORWARD  AND  UP  FRONT  I  WOULD  SAY;  AGAIN  NO  DEGREE  IN  THEOLOGY  NEEDED  TO  UNDERSTAND  JESUS'  WORDS  HERE.

SO  NOW  WE  HAVE  THE  SUBJECT  OF  REPENTANCE  BROUGHT  BEFORE  US.

YOU  CAN  LOOK  UP  THE  WORD  REPENT  IN  A  GOOD  WORD  DICTIONARY.  AS  FOR  SPIRITUALITY,  YOU  NEED  TO  KNOW  IN  GOD'S  VIEW  WHAT  YOU  ARE  TO  REPENT  OF..... AS  ACCORDING  TO  GOD.

NOW  WE  ENTER  THE  SUBJECT  OF  SIN,  BUT  SIN  AS  DEFINED  BY  GOD  NOT  MAN,  OR  SOME  "CHURCH."

SO  IT  MEANS  WE  HAVE  TO  READ  THE  BIBLE  FOR  ANSWERS  AS  TO  WHAT  IS  SIN  IN  GOD'S  MIND.  NOT  OUR  MIND,  BUT  THE  MIND  OF  THE  ETERNAL  HOLY  GOD.

WE  COULD  START  WITH  THE  FAMOUS  10  COMMANDMENTS;  YOU  MAY  LIKE  TO  WATCH  THE  MOVIE  CALLED  THE  TEN  COMMANDMENTS.
IT  BRINGS  OUT  THE  GLORY  AND  BEAUTY  OF  THE  TEN  COMMANDMENTS.

AS  YOU  READ  THEM,  THE  LONG  VERSION  AS  IN  EXODUS  20,  YOU  MAY  WANT  TO  TAKE  NOTE  OF  THE  LONGEST  IN  WORDS  -  YES  THE  4TH  ONE,  WHICH  TODAY  JUST  ABOUT  ALL  CHRISTIANS  TAKE  NO  NOTICE  OF;  FOR  MOST  IT  IS  THE  LEAST,  WELL  TODAY  IT  IS  NOT  EVEN  CONSIDERED  AT  ALL  BY  MOST  CHRISTIANS,  UNLESS  IT  IS  GOING  TO  CHURCH  FOR  A  FEW  HOURS,  THEN  GOING  BACK  TO  DO  YOUR  OWN  THING  THE  REST  OF  THE DAY,

YES  REPENTANCE  IS  A  SOMEWHAT  LARGE  SUBJECT,  WHICH  I'VE  DEALT  WITH  IN  FULL  STUDIES,  I  BELIEVE  IT  IS  UNDER   MY  SECTION  ON  SALVATION.

REPENTANCE  IS  CERTAINLY  NOT  LEFT   OUT  OF  THE  BIBLE.

IT  IS  YOUR  DUTY  TO  FIND  WHAT  SIN  IS;  WHAT  DOES  GOD  HAVE  TO  SAY  ABOUT  WHAT  WE  HAVE  TO  REPENT  OF  DOING  IN  MIND,  BODY,  AND  DEEDS,  TO  CONFORM  MORE  AND  MORE  TO  BE  LIKE  HIM.
