Bible Question: I need to repent where do I look? |
Bible Answer: Dear sacollins, John 3:16 For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Always look to God and ask him to save you in the name of Jesus, his Son. After all, God said he sent Jesus to save all mankind, if they only knew it. What does repent mean? It means turning from one direction and going in the opposite direction. What does it mean to be a sinner? That is someone who is doing opposite of what God says we should do, think, feel and say. There is no human being that has not sinned in some way, against God. In the first place, if one does not know what God says about a subject, how would they know if they were doing opposite of what God wants? Then after they find out what opposition they have toward God they must ask him to forgive them of their sin. All people have broken the first commandment: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Has any human loved God that way, besides Jesus? no. From God's viewpoint when we break even one commandment, we have broken them all! So it puts all people in the place of asking him to forgive them, help them, save them. We've all been there and done that, who are Christians. It has to be asked with all your heart. It is not based on feelings, but because you mean it, you want him to help you forever. You want him to be Lord (supreme authority) over all your thoughts, words, and deeds, all of your ways, means and directions, and all the steps you take in your life time. If you want that more than anything, he will save you, guide you into all truth, and his word will set you free. JOhn 17:17. Then ask him to give you strength, never to oppose him or his word again. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
