![]() Repentance is turning to God with a complete change in the way a person thinks and acts. It isn’t just asking for forgiveness and then doing the same thing again. Matthew 3:2, Matthew 4:17, Mark 1:5 , All these verses call for repentance for “the kingdom of Heaven is near” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. You must repent to have a chance at heaven. Have you really repented? Are you living the life Christ called us to live... by loving (Matthew 22:34-40),
by serving (Matthew 20:25-28), by forgiving (Matthew 18:22, Matthew 18:21-35) by casting away sources of sin (Matthew 18:8-9) by sacrificing your desires (Matthew 16:24) by giving to the poor (not living in excess) (Matthew 19:21, Matthew 19:23-24) & by planting seeds & evangelizing (Matthew 25:14-30, Matthew 21:28-32) Strive to understand God & his kingdom (Matthew 13:18-23), strive to see through the lies and the truth. If anyone ever told you that it’s easy to be a Christian, they were lying to you. It’s difficult, and it demands sacrifice. God has really high standards that everyone, no matter who you are or what your story is, must strive to meet. Seek the truth and look for Bible verses to support every single claim you hear or read online, even on my blog! You never know how the enemy will try to deceive you so be on your guard. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord! Peace & Grace, Evangeline
