IS REPENTANCE NECESSARY?

IS REPENTANCE NECESSARY?

GOAL: To show us that without repentance, there can be no salvation.
KEY SCRIPTURE: Acts 17:30
Repentance is a commandment from God. And any command that we
receive from God must be obeyed.
• Jesus said in Luke 13:5 “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.” Repentance is vital to the plan of salvation!
• Ezekiel announced “Thus sayeth the Lord God; Repent, and turn
yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all
your abominations.” (Ezekiel 14:6)
• John the Baptist preached “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven

We know that repentance is a commandment from the Lord. It is the
building block upon which our whole Christian experience is built on.
For without true repentance there can be no forgiveness or remission of

Repentance causes a chain reaction:
REPENTANCE => BAPTISM IN JESUS NAME => HOLY SPIRIT =>
VICTORIOUS LIVING => HEAVEN.
However, without repentance, the rest is not possible.
A large portion of this material was taken and revised from a tract
entitled, “The Truth About Repentance” by Eddie Jones.
Before one can truly repent, he must have an understanding and
acknowledgment that he is guilty of sin (Romans 3:23; 5:12).

This example is relevant for all times. The image of the harvest speaks to everyone [BW1]   . Even those who live in the city understand the importance of the harvest. The harvest is necessary for our survival. Without it, there is suffering. An elderly, pioneer preacher was sitting beside a young pastor in a church service, when John 4:35 was mentioned. With his huge hand, he slapped the young man on the leg and said in a loud voice, “Young man, do you understand what that scripture means? I’ll tell you. The crop is so ripe that unless someone gets to it immediately, it will spoil.” It is not time to sleep during the...
