Repentance

Acts 20:21, Cor. 2 7:10

Repent – To be patient, comforted, eased, feel sorry for or to regret, to repent one’s choice regret for past action. To turn back or have another mind.
J.B. Lawrence “Certainly, repentance is necessary, but repentance is the 1st step in faith. No one can believe on Christ and accept him as Saviour and Lord without turning away from sin.” (Kindlings for Revival Fires, pg. 116).

1. The mind must be moved in the act of repentance, but that’s not all:
The confession, “I have sinned,” is made by many. Hardened Pharoah Exodus 9:27, Double-minded Balaam Numbers 22:34, Remorseful Achaean Joshua 7:20, Insincere Saul Samuel 1 15:24, and despairing Judas Matthew 27:4.
2. “There must be a change of purpose.” Jeremiah 25:5, Proverbs 28:13, and Psalm 51:5.
3. “True repentance is manifested by confession of sin before God.” Luke 18:13.

True repentance will bear fruit.
