Why do we need to repent?


 
What is the purpose for repentance?

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

All that are born into this world are born as sinners

Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Let us understand the severity of sin. Think on this, our children already know how to lie, and have mischief ideas to cause trouble. All this derivers from the fall of man.

God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of one of the forbidden tree in the garden, or nether to touch it.

The Forbidden Fruit

Genesis 2:15-17 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And the devil deceived Eve to eat from the forbidden tree of the garden

Genesis 3: 4-5 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.   

Sin in nature also gives us the feeling of guilt, shame and depression

When Adam and Eve sinned they both seen themselves naked, and in the shame they hide from God, just like us when we don't want to go to church because it reveals the sin that is in us. Why do we need to repent? John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.    

In other words, if we keep our sins we will not be able to enter into the kingdom heaven.

This place called heaven is a dream come true place. Just think, no more suffering, no more sickness, a place that can't be comprehended in the carnal flesh. This superior paradise in heaven will give us everlasting life that no man on this earth will be able to give you in this world. This is a gift of God.      

The nature of our thoughts are good and bad while we are in this world.

Ephesians 2:1-5 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

The Lord have spoken it that all will know him and the Lord will forgive us our sins

JEREMIAH CHAPTER 31:34

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Repentance is easy, If you are truly sorry for your sins, and you want to receive the gift of salvation by Jesus Christ our Lord say these words after me.

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Dear Jesus, forgive me a sinner, wash me in your precious blood. remove from me all bad addiction from me, let this heart of stone to be made flesh that you may sow the word in it, and from this day forward  I have excepted you as my personal savior in Jesus Christ name Amen. 
 
That's it....easy to repent

Let the word of God lead you closer to the Lord. It will be a happy and enjoyable experience Pray, Pray, Pray always.

God bless you

What does it take to become a Christian?




How do we become a Christian? there is no secret in knowing the truth that will set you free from sin. Understanding right and wrong is easy. What we need to understand is making the choice to live Godly and holy for the Lord.

First let's look into what makes us a non-Christian believer. And the answer is sin. What is sin? It's the wrong that we do that the Lord Jesus Christ has reviled in the word of God. What started the sin was disobedient to God in which caused us to choose options to right and wrong. This created a direction for temptation to do the oppose to right. This began sin. Satan deceived the very first humans in the world called Adam & Eve. Adam & Eve only knew the right, because God made them a living soul, and blessed them with the earth. What caused Adam & Eve to fall into the temptation of sin?

The Forbidden Fruit that started the sin in this world

Genesis 2:15-17 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Satan tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit. 

The Serpent's Deception Genesis 3:1-7


1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

We all were born into this world as sinner

Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

I Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

I Timothy 2:14-15 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death,
so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.


Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

The lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is of the world

I John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Keeping ourselves unspotted from the world takes prayer, and always reading the bible.

We all were born into this world as sinner

Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

What is our first steps to becoming a Christian?

1. Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should 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.

2. Be sorry for all the sins that you have done  

Romans 10:9 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

3. Leave your old past sin on the cross after you've repent and return no more to your old ways.  

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

4. Go to a church that is preaching the true word of God, and always read your bible and, pray every day, for you and, others that you may know.

5. Always believe in faith through Jesus Christ our Lord that all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.   

6. We must be saved in order for us to enter into heaven

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.




                                                  “My Challenge to you”




If you are not a Christian, I invite you to receive the hope and peace in your heart that only Jesus gives.

  To become a Christian, you must deal with Christ Jesus directly. In A quiet moment, bow your head and talk to him. In your own words say something like this:

 “Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I believe that you died and rose from the dead to save me from my sins. I want to be with you in heaven forever. God, forgive me of all my sins that I have committed against you. Wash me in your precious blood. I here and now open my heart to you and ask you to come into my heart and life and be my personnel Savior. Amen.”

 If you say that to Christ and mean it, He will come in instantly. At once you will sense you have been transferred from the devil’s dominion to the kingdom of God. Read Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

  
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves you dearly

Are you going to Heaven?


 
In this world we prepare for the future to retire, but have we prepared for the new life to come for those that are ready to meet the Lord Jesus Christ? When do we start preparing for the future for Heaven? The answer is today, and don't keep procrastinating, and promising yourself that you are going to prepare for the coming of the Lord.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.   

Matthew 8:21, 22 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Today is the day for salvation, don't wait until it's too late.

II Corinthians 6:2 For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Proverbs 29:1 1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.  

Why did Jesus Christ have to die? Because he took the form of sin on the cross to offer himself to the father for the sin of the world.

Hebrew 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The bible tells us that heaven is within us.

Luke 17: 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

 

Jesus is the gate keeper to the kingdom of heaven

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.

In my father's house are many mansion

John 14:2-4  2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Heaven was not made that sin would continue in Heaven, but it was made for those that have giving their life to Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

The word of God states that we are born into this world as sinners, and have falling short of the Glory of God, so that means that we need to prepare for the new life without sin.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

If you are squirming in discomfort because you know that you are not clean from sin don't keep procrastinating in your sins, because you may find yourself left behind, and will not have a second chance to enter in the kingdom of heaven.

Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
