Bible Question:
Act 20 17 -38 Question: Why is repentance necessary, how can the church do a better job of calling people to repent. |
Bible Answer: jaciana, Repentance is necessary because Jesus said it was necessary and He told his disciles to preach a gospel of repentance. Christ sent his apostles so that "repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations." "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Luke 24:47; Matthew 28:19). Churches could do a better job of calling people to repentance by actually calling people to repentance and not just giving repentance lip service. Churches need to preach the "whole gospel.. in season and out." The whole gospel entails "repentance for the forgiveness of sins." As in the parable of the prodigal son, our relationship with the Father is restored only when we repent. Otherwise we distance ourselves from our Father as the prodigal son did until he "came to his senses" (Luke 15:17) and repented and was restored to life from spiritual death. (Luke 15:32). Emmaus |
