“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” v. 2 (NLT)
This is the starting point for the Gospel. It hasn’t changed, but sadly, in the church we don’t talk about repentance much because it may make people feel uncomfortable. But, maybe that’s exactly what we need. When we look at the prophets, the Disciples, and even Jesus, we see them calling sin, sin, and addressing the need of repentance.
Repentance means to be so broken by your state of sin, that you are compelled to turn away from it. Repentance is a broken place where only the Super Natural Power of the Holy Spirit, through the power of the Cross and the Resurrection of Christ, can bring effective healing, restoration, salvation, and forgiveness. Nothing else will allow us to be a part of God coming Kingdom!
Today, what areas do you need to be broken of and truly repent from? Are you willing to trade it in for a God Honoring Life?
