Application of repentance within the church as a whole.

Consider the Seven churches of Asia

Consider the church in Corinth 2 Co 7:9–11 “Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge!

In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.”

Call to action: You Believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

You are ready to repent as seen in these examples of repentance.

Now rise and be baptized calling on the name of the Christ (Acts 22:16).
