Bible Question: If "to repent" means to turn from sin to God,rather than just feel regret or sorrow for it, then isn't it a work? |
Bible Answer: Repentance is clearly a work that God does in us over a process of time which some might teach it is instantly and that we can do it ourselves; repentance also has these fruits attached to it. (2Cor 10-11) This work can only be done by God through a meek and patient instructor who has been SENT by God to preach the gospel AND the glad tidings, because not many can obey the gospel because they haven't been taught this report (of grace). (2Tim 2:24-26 with Rom 10:15-16) I suggest you do a word study on the doctrine of repentance, this will be of great benefit to you, I usually use www.blueletterbible.org Blessings as you study His word, Ztheberean |
