Default Repentance

Repentance

ACTS 17:30 NKJ
30 "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

To repent means to change. Repentance is a change of thinking which results in a change of life.

Repentance involves a change of mind -- waking up to reality, seeing things as they really are, and recognizing the error of your ways -- resulting in a change of action.

Repentance includes forsaking old patterns, habits, priorities, and all things that have controlled you (gods). Repentance means accepting Jesus as Lord!

To repent is to forsake all other gods -- and embrace Jesus Christ as your Lord and God.

The word translated "repent" in English New Testaments is the Greek word metanoeo. It means to change one's mind, or to convert. Not merely to forsake sin, but to change one's mind regarding it. Metanoeo means to reform, to have a genuine change of heart and life from worse to better.

The noun form of the Greek word we translate as "repentance" is metanoya. It is a change of mind that involves both a turning from sin and a turning to God.

The parable of the prodigal son is an outstanding illustration of repentance. (Luke 15:10-21)

Repentance is associated with renewing the mind (Romans 12:2). When you know the truth -- truth makes you free as you act on it (John 8:32).

SAY THIS: Jesus, I call on You to be my Lord. Please help me to repent in every area of life and walk in agreement with you.
