What Is True Repentance Before God?
When one who has drifted away from God realizes their sins, and thanks Jesus for washing them away, and comes back to God, this is called repentance.
All of us are lumps of sin.
True repentance is to admit the following truth. We must admit that we are sinners before God, and that we cannot but sin all our lives and go to hell when we die. We must also admit that we have to receive Jesus by believing that He came to this world to save sinners like us, and that He took away all sins (through His baptism) and died and was resurrected to save us. True repentance is to give up our own thoughts and return to God (Acts 2:38).
Repentance is to admit our sins and turn back to the word of God, to accept the salvation of the water and the blood with all our hearts (1 John 5:6).
True repentance is to acknowledge ourselves as complete sinners and to believe in Jesus, the Son of God, as our Savior who saved us from all our sins. In order to be saved and be washed of all sins, we must stop trying to be clean through our own works and admit that we are complete sinners before God and His Laws. We then have to accept the Truth of His salvation, the gospel of the water and the Spirit, the salvation which Jesus gave us with His baptism and blood.
A sinner has to give up all their own thoughts and will and return to Jesus completely.
We will be saved when we come to believe that the baptism of Jesus was to take all our sins on to Himself.
In other words, believe in the fact that the baptism of Jesus, His crucifixion, and His resurrection were the way to save sinners. Jesus came in the flesh and was baptized and was crucified to wash away all our sins. Having complete faith in all this and believing that Jesus was resurrected to become the Savior of all those who believe in Him is true repentance and genuine faith.
How about you?
Have you received salvation from all your sins once and for all by turning to Jesus Christ through true repentance before God, believing in His baptism, His blood in the Cross, and His resurrection?
If this is not yet clear to you, you need to seek, listen, and believe.
