Repentance is when our conscience convicts us as sinners before God and we turn from our evil ways. The prodigal repented and said, “I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son” (Luke 15:18-19). A believer can also repent as Peter did in Luke 22:61-62.
Remember that it is “the goodness of God [that] leadeth thee to repentance” (Romans 2:4) along with “godly sorrow” (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Today, God “commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This is the only way a sinner can receive “remission of sins” (Luke 24:47). Both repentance and faith in Christ are necessary in order to be saved. Have you ever repented and received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour?
