Bible Note: Hi Rowdy, I liked your post and I agree, but if I may, I would like to add to it. The diversified objects that a person can repent from can go from a life of religion to one of crime but the main object in repentance is not what one turns from but what they turn to. The object of repentance, with regards to salvation, must always be the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have heard many testimonies where people have changed their ways and joined this or that church and became a better person but they never speak of how Jesus has changed their life; He is the one thing that’s missing in their testimony! And really the only thing that counts. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. The way I see it, it isn’t what I have done that means anything It’s what Jesus has done for me and I believe it. CDBJ P.S. The Bible says that the Lord know how many hairs we have on our head. Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Some of us sure make it easy for Him. |
