The Definition of Repentance Repentance is a subject that needs to be preached and emphasized by preachers today. We have some today preaching redemption without repentance today and that is not the Gospel Jesus Preached. We need to Emphasize and Preach repentance in alignment with Redemption. Confessing our sins is only half of it, the bible says “whoso confesseth and forsaketh” There is a Need for Repentance in the lives of the unbeliever as well as the believer. It goes without saying unbelievers need repentance, but however many believers are latching to and holding onto sin in their lives and they need to repent of those sins.

Sorrow leads to Repentance but it is not repentance itself • Suffering because it • Regret • Wishing you would have never did it • Recompense • Trying to make payment or repayment over what was done wrong Repentance Is Conviction Psalm 38:4 KJV 1900 4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Confession Proverbs 28:13 KJV 1900 13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 1 John 1:9 KJV 1900 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Acts 3:19 KJV 1900 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Let me ask you, have you ever repented of your sin.

If you once made a profession of faith but never repented friend you need to repent, if we don’t turn from our sins how can we declare we are turning to Jesus. To be honest if you never repented, I worry if you are born again. Being born again is not only confessing but converting. If you confessed without conversion you should go back to calvary and ensure that you convert to ensure that you got it Consecration Romans 12:1–2 KJV 1900 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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.
