“Repentance is a change of mind concerning that which makes a man condemned.” Romans 8:1 - No condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ 💗
I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding the second half of this sentence, "concerning that which makes a man condemned". Would anyone be able to rephrase it to help me out? Thanks so much
@@SSB_ZLG Thank you
…..who walk not after the flesh , but after the spirit. So question is ….What is walking in the spirit ?
@@DubplateArchive
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:16-23
Thank you for this explanation. I have always been confused about this, until you helped me. @@SSB_ZLG
Amen. So many false teachers and prophets out there. I am not ashamed of the simplicity of the Gospel; that Christ alone saves- not my obedience or performance. He is my perfection.
Amen! 🙏✝️♥️
🎯
Amen.
Amen. God makes salvation simple, men want to make it complicated. "When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." (Matt 19:25-26 KJV)
AMEN😊
why does Jesus say pick up your cross and follow me dayly or you can not be my deiple is that about salvation
I believe in you Jesus. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life. I am so happy in knowing that the Son of God lives within my heart. I love you and serve you with all my heart.
I was a Atheist and when I learned the gospel It was indeed a change of mind! I knew how wrong I was all those years! I know now I will do my best not to waste a single second!
amen
Most Christians believe repentance is forgiveness of sins it’s a change of mind to believe on Christ
This is wrong. Repent means to "feel or express sincere regret or remorse about one's wrongdoing or sin". It is not simply the changing of one's mind on belief, it is also changing one's mind on sin. Jesus didn't simply say repent. He said repent and sin no more.
Romans 5:18
"Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men."
Man is condemned for unbelief and sin not just unbelief as Onorato says.
Hey Brother Thank You For Making The Word Repentance Clear!!!So Many Get The Word Repentance Wrong!!! They Think That It Is Confession But It Is Simply A Change Of Mind About Our Precious Lord & Savior Jesus Christ Is!!!
Amen! Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus for your complete, redemptive work on the cross! We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. 🙌
The Lord Jesus provides Grace for us to repent through His Blood, Word and Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus for leading me to repentance and leading me to Walk in The Light of Your Blood, Words and Holy Spirit.
Everyone needs to repent , turn away from sins and turn to God, then walk in The Light of obedience of The Teachings Commands and Words of The Lord Jesus.
I was wicked and evil for a very long time and live in sins. My life was full of hatred, lust after lust. I found forgiveness, Mercy and Grace ... now I am free of lust and free of porn by crucifying my evil desires and dying to sin daily only through The Grace of The Lord Jesus. There is hope in Christ only when we live in His Grace and in His Kindness and in His Mercy.
Yup. Repentance is needed first and then without Christ the person is hopeless. Just like Paul said at the end of Rom 7 oh wretched man that I am!! Who shall save me from the body of this death!! This is repentance. I’m a sinner. I’m hopeless. I need a savior. Then comes faith. I thank God through my (I love it when Paul says that) Lord Jesus Christ. There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
AMEEEEENNNN! Preach! Spot on so clear to understand!
That was the clearest, most concise and easily understood explanation of Biblical repentance I have ever heard! Thank you
Been watching your videos, and one thing I can say : if you don't know beyond any doubt that you are saved, or if you are always wondering if you have gone too far and lost your salvation, or if you don't understand the 6th Chapter of Hebrews, you can essentially forget being able to stand in faith for anything. Guilt and condemnation will always win out. Legalism has probably disabled more Christians than Satan ever thought of doing himself personally. You are doing a great job addressing the issue of eternal security, and dealing with things that have needed to be dealt with for a VERY long time ! As I look through the selection of your videos I am quite pleased because you keep dealing with all the things I have always wondered about, but never got a satisfactory answer to !
Good News! Praise Jesus Christ ✝️ HE paid it all. Hallelujah 😃
Repentance is a change of mind to believe then you have faith
Amen. Thank you Lord Jesus!
I believe in jesus Christ as my lord and savoir
Amen brother, absolute truth!
faith is a gift from GOD so is repentance, it's a gift from GOD...repentance is faith, faith is repentance. One day when the door of salvation closes the door to faith and repentance also closes.
Both faith and repentance demand I said demand an object ...you are tell us that faith and repentance is a gift from God .but you don't tell us faith in WHAT, and repentance of WHAT
I agree repentance is from unbelief, dead works, and change of mind.
Amen so grateful God granted me repentance. I often reflect on my past sins... and I'm so grateful God has changed my mind.
Thank you Ono!!!! For teaching the true gospel!!
I believe in lord Jesus christ
Amen ! That was clear and concise.
Thank you so much for this video. I have always been confused regarding this and never quite understood. I thought this was about changing all of my bad habits into good ones. This makes much more sense when I hear it from you. I am so glad I was wrong. Praise Jesus and your channel.
You nailed this. Also love your teachings on James.
Great analogy of what repentance means, never heard it put that way.
Yes, even God repented. Exodus 32:14, meaning God changed His mind. Man perverts the meaning of "repentance" by thinking it is only in regards to sin. Repentance and sin don't necessarily go together. Repentance just means "changing one's mind".
Amen not many people talk about this I really wanted to know more about this thank you so much I recently started watching ur videos and they are really interesting and greatly explained thank you all Glory goes to God
Amen brother! , God bless!
God I needed this ,Thank you 🙏 🙌 AMEN
THANK YOU GOD ♥️ I LOVE YOU JESUS ♥️
Great message.
Great video!💙❤
Amen
Some answers are so simple i overlooked them 🙏🏼❤️
Yeah
Great job your blessed god has blessed you
THANK YOU!!!! So, so, so, so make this concept confusing to people!!! God bless you for making this video!!!
Thank you!
Amen, thank you.
This is a very good message! The interpreter is excellent! I am an interpreter also!
Amen & Thank you !
So glad I stumbled upon this clip. For years we have had certain "conservatives" railing against the necessity of repentance, and shouting "Legalism! Legalism!" because they mistakenly think it means to change one's behaviour! The only thing I would add to what our brother has said is that the original word refers to what the Greeks called the "Nous," which is more than a superficial thought, but our real understanding of the things Onorato spoke about. It is an understanding which (as we might say today) "I feel in my guts" It is far more profound than a passing mental assent. Again, thanks, brother.
Amen brother 🎯 💗
Amen bro!
I. Love. You. Man. U. Preach. Everything. Correctly. ! I'm. Heaven. Bound. By. Grace. Thru. Faith. Only. Nonthing. Else. , No. One. Else. Will. Do. Galatians. 2:16. Says. It. All
I agree completely, A change of mind, only with the aid of the Holy Spirit can one then turn from sin. That only happens after salvation.
Most people will still sin after receiving the Holy Spirit, because we are still in flesh. But we still trust that its paid in full by Jesus.
Galatians 5:1-15
1 Corinthians 6: 9-12 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.
Acts 11:12-18 shows that "repentance unto life" is referring to belief on the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is so simple, believe that you have eternal life through Jesus Christ (1 John 5:10-13, John 3:36).
Amazing grace.mind blowing.
if I could lose my salvation... then Jesus couldn't save me.. and I would need another savior.
I have yet to meet one single Christian who has repented of all their sins, and I have spent the majority of my life in "Lordship" churches.
The Lord and the prophets He sent all connected repentance with turning from sin. Why should we not agree with how He used the word? "Metanoia" can be defined as change of mind. However, as those who want to know what the Lord is teaching in His Word, the spirit of the word is important, not just the letter of the word. The Bible, from start to finish, expresses that God hates sin - Jesus died to destroy sin's power over us - He wants us to flee from sin, to Him - and live!
Jesus also defined repent as a turning from sin. In Matthew 12:41 He says the Ninevites repented, but Jonah said they turned from their wickedness (Jonah 3:8)
Repentance for salvation is the basis for this video. It’s spot on. However the word REPENT can be used for other situations. I can repent of playing video games. Context is king when it’s used.
@@davidchupp4460 almost every use of the word "repent" or any derivative thereof can easily be shown to be connected with turning from sin.
@@JK23111 false. Show me.
@@JK23111 God repented more than man in the Old Testament. According to your explanation of repentance he’s a sinner.
Can you please do a video on the unforgivable sin? I'm sure there are many out there including myself at times that struggle with this, it can cause people to doubt pretty heavily. Thank you for all of the content you give us God Bless you!
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Basically, dying without believing on Christ for salvation.
@EJ People need to read their bibles and pray for understanding. Most people seem to only listen to other people's ideas about God and the bible. Not that we never can, but unless and until we meet Jesus as he is through the word he has given us we will have confusion.
I just tell God when I don't understand something, and ask him to make his truth clear to me. He always does.
@@chrisanok9283 You'd have to understand what "salvation" is, first of all.
When Jesus died on the cross, he paid the price for ALL sin. This means that NO sin is unforgivable. All sin is covered by the blood of Christ. All one needs ro do is BELIEVE on Christ and his finished work.
Jesus conquered Death. Jesus' shed blood purchased Eternal Life for ALL of Mankind.
How does one get "saved?" Again, by believing on Christ's finished work of conquering Death!
A man is drawn by the Holy Spirit of God to Christ, and to salvation.
To reject the working and power and message of the Holy Spirit which brings one to the knowledge of how to get saved is to "blaspheme" the Holy Spirit. It is this rejection OF the Spirit of God's message of Christ as the remedy for sin, and then dying outside of Christ that is the one and only "unforgivable" sin. Because, again, ALL sin is covered by the blood of Christ, and belief of that fact is what causes a man to be born again.
Therefore, it is dying in UNbelief which is "unforgivable," because prior to physical death, a man must acknowledge and accept the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dying without Christ is to remain in one's sin, and to remain in the dead spiritual state every man is born into.
A man is body, soul, and spirit. It is the spirit of a man which must be brought to life, and the only way to do this is by believing on Christ Jesus' work on the cross. A dead-to-Christ spirit may not inherit any part of the kingdom of God, and will only remain in Death and be cast into Hell along with Satan and his angels.
Rejection of the saving Grace of Jesus Christ because once you are dead it's to late! ...Every other sin is forgivable payed on the cross by the blood of Jesus CHRIST, God's peace
Question brother, what is
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 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.
2 Corinthians 7:8-10 KJV
Repentance is a change of mind from unbelief to belief/ complete trust in Jesus's perfect life, death burrial and resurrection. Nowhere in the 4 Gospels does it read that Jesus went on to further suffer for sins in hell. Jesus said it is finished at the cross of Calvary.
Amen!
Acts 8:21-22 calls repentance a 'change of heart'.
It's talking about having grief and sorrow of our wickedness. Just how in Genisis 6:5-6 God has grief over our wickedness
Whe you remain in God he keeps you from sinning.
Well said. Acts 19:4 4 Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” This makes it very clear.
I just recently learned that repentance means a change of mind from this video. This whole time i was sucked into the whole fasle teachings of "repent from your sins" but at the same time i also believed that Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross was what saved us. I literally bekieved that repent meant saying sorry and feeling remorse for our sins. I would even say a repentance prayer .. i feel so dumb and even a bit of anxiety.. i feel like i really messed up... I do believe that salvation is a free gift from God, that Grace is free. But i was also sucked into the whole repent from your sins.. i told God that i had no clue what i was falling into and that I was sorry. I feel so stupid. Can't believe i was believing that. I would even tell others to repent.. yikes. 😢 I watched a lot of street preachers and i just didnt reaize i was going down a lie. I feel like a total hypocrite. 😢
So repentance from dead works is changing from the idea that works can save to one of faith?
So should we be repenting everyday after we sin? Please respond
Yes the bible tells us to confess it. And in my belief it helped a believer to know or to be aware of his sins
Can someone please help me what was Jesus saying in John 20:23 I don't understand what reain means someone please shead some light on this thanks
I am believe in Jesus christ amen
Acts,16:31 *
* I like this vs. so much because it is so explicit in it's message... I will attempt to break it down in regard to it's verbs..from the original Greek text...The vs. says ,Believe on the lord Jesus Christ ,and thou shalt be saved....Believe is the main verb...it is a aorist active ,imperative of the greek verb Pistos ,to believe. The aorist tense is a point of time that you believe. This is a special aorist tense that takes this point of time and perpetuates it into infinity..The active voice ,the subject ,produces the action of the verb,you believe. The imperative mood is a command. Saved is sozo, a perfect passive participle .A participle is an auxiliary verb that supports the main verb..The perfect tense show a completed action. The passive voice unlike the active voice ,says the subject (the one believing in Christ)receives the action of the verb rather than producing this action...In this case he receives salvation. So based on the original text The vs.is more accurately translated. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and at that moment ,you are saved for ever and ever..
* Notice repentance towards sin is not mention because a spiritual dead person is not capable of doing anything to save himself.
Amen, amen! Thank you, Jesus for saving me. But what about my lost religious loved ones who have already died? Will I ever see them again? Or will I forget that they ever existed at all?
Hey man. I’m super confused about the definition of “Repent” in the context of Luke 17:3-4. The definition you provided doesn’t seem to work here, in my head at least. Could you help a brother out?
Awesome. Very clear teaching thank you
If you change your mind you will change your ways of living becouse before you lived a life of sin
and you will continue to do so after salvation because you still live in your flesh.
In Jesus name Amen
Where is the scripture that validates your stance on repentance?
Christ asked for "repentance" and turning from sin, the women in John 8:11 "She said , No man Lord, And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee (forgiveness), Go and sin no more" In your theology Christ should have said "listen I know your going to sin but, don't worry I got you covered". Repentance is not just a change of mind it is a change of direction . You watering down the definition does disservice to scripture. John the Baptist preached all the people of Israel needed to repent of their "SINS" not change their mind. He was the forerunner of Christ who baptized Christ and Christ affirmed.
Through changing your mind, you will be born again and put sin to death by the power of the Holy Spirit. Salvation is a gift of grace. To agree with that as a lost, desolate sinner is repentance. Jesus saying go “sin no more” is what He says to all of us, who have been saved.
Same here
Peter says"Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"The verb repent demands an object, It is saying repent of what. My question to you is what is the object in this vs, It is asking what do I change my mind about. If you guessed sin ,you would be wrong like so many who see this vs. The object of the verb in this sentence is Jesus Christ. It is Changing you mind that you receive the Holy Spirit. That saves.,
Luke 14 25-34
Amen. Can you please make a video addressing Mark 13;32
You can still tell people to repent of their sins, because that's what will ultimately happen. To repent is to change your mind, BUT ULTIMATELY, once you do that, you will also change your actions (sinning). Repentance always leads to a change in actions, not just a change in mind.
Most people don't understand that concept.
@@richardedmiston3756 Then most people need to study more, cause its very easy to grasp. xD
@@JeshieWafflezI completely agree.
@@JeshieWafflezI believe there's a lot of people who think they are saved, and they really aren't.
@richardedmiston3756 There are many people in the heavens who haven't Repented of their sins. The Bible tells us Lot was going to send out his two daughters to be raped by the angry mob outside, yet the Bible still calls Lot,a righteous, just man in the eyes of God.
Hey what camera are you using brother ?
iPhone 12
I have a question. Does repentance require emotion, deep feelings, or a supernatural revelation from the Holy Spirit. I ask because I "know" or at least accepted in my mind I have sinned against God and therefore was a sinner. Was that repentance?
A change of mind (repentance) can be accompanied by emotions or provoke an emotional response such as sorrow. However, a specific emotional response is not required to receive eternal life. m.th-cam.com/video/PFMc11gIMeM/w-d-xo.html
@@OnoDiamantehey bro im really confused so we shouldnt repent from our sins doesnt it say we should ?
Thank you for your time and effort on this subject.
How does this explanation fit with this verse?
Matthew 7:21-23
New American Standard Bible
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
And how does this explanation fit with the parables of the 10 virgins and wedding feast?
th-cam.com/video/1kMT_-Qae5E/w-d-xo.html
Didnt Jesus say if you love me follow my commandment in a way that’s a act of obedience because we love him and your saying that’s not the case ?
I think back then, they had an issue of doing too much works and nowadays it's so little works that people feel to make works necessary
We can argue back and forth about who is right, BUT Jesus Himself in Luke 13:3 says, "I tell you...unless you repent, you too will all perish." Jesus also said in Matthew 4:17, "...Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” AND in Acts 2:38 it says, "Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins..." AND in Acts 1730 it says, "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent..."
@OnoDiamante People who don't believe OSAS say that it's a free to sin card/an excuse to be able to sin. I fully believe in OSAS of course but just wondering what you think about what people say about it.
th-cam.com/video/usXCk3nR_Ug/w-d-xo.html
What do you make of the scripture in 2 corinthians "Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation, not to be repented of"
True sorrow worketh a change of mind to salvation! Not to be ashamed of
True. But change of mind "from what"?
Fath without works is dead. You believed. Believed the Word. Works is applying the teachings into your life.....become a new man...old man died. Sin no long a dominion...you become an overcomer by the power of Holy Spirit.
Simply said. You cant just get the ticket and not get onto the bus to your destination. Action on your part is needed.
Are you in covenant with God? Do you know you have a part to play/fulfill?😊❤
th-cam.com/video/usCuIboBxgI/w-d-xo.html
Well repentance is a change of mind correct … you act on what you believe.. If you believe Jesus your actions will start following after his word.
You SHOULD act on what you believe. There’s plenty of things we believe, yet our actions don’t always reflect them.
@@OnoDiamante should one act on what they believe or what the word of GOD says....???
Acts 26:20
The ESV and NASB versions change “repent” to “relent” in Jonah 3:10
They clearly did this so they could redefine repent. What a shame.
Repent (change your mind) and believe in Christ
Luk 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Luk 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luk 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
So changing your Mind requires a changing of works because if not then you never truly changed your mind?
Nonsense that belongs in a nursery rhyme.
Why does the thumbnail say "Turn or Burn?" instead of "God is in my corner?""
Because the subject is repentance and that’s the phrase you’ll often hear associated with this preaching.
I’m very balanced on the word of god but let me say this your lifestyle definitely plays a part in following Jesus Christ but that’s one aspect because many other religions live just as almost better than Christian’s only differences is Jesus isn’t the lord of there life and the Holy Spirit isn’t within them .
I’m not doubting what you say or arguing but aren’t we supposed to walk holy as He is holy? No idolator, no adulterer, no fornicator and so on will inherit the kingdom of Heaven. What if I commit the same sin over and over? Am I saved? Will Jesus smile and welcome me in?
I ask all this because I’ve had rapture dreams ( one last night ) and I was left behind. I’m looking for answers because I’m scared.
th-cam.com/video/PFMc11gIMeM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Shawn, When Jesus died for us, He took all of our sins - past, present and future - onto Himself, and those sins were nailed to the cross and paid for - in full! When we believed Jesus as our Savior, He wrapped us in His righteousness, making us perfectly clean before God. We will have all eternity to thank Him for His amazing grace toward us! Those who refuse to believe Him and reject His full pardon for sins, will pay the price for their sins for all eternity in hell. And yes - He calls us to live holy lives - He sent His Holy Spirit to fill us, lead us on the paths of righteousness for His name's sake, and use us for His glory, so the world will see the light and love of Jesus in us.
Hopefully we won’t be here for that terrible day keep praying, being scared of God is the beginning of wisdom that’s good
@@diannesmith9616 th-cam.com/video/PFMc11gIMeM/w-d-xo.html
Are you telling all these people to sin?
Acts 3:19, "REPENT, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
Matthew 4:17 says, "From that time on Jesus began to preach, “REPENT, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Acts 17:30 says, "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to REPENT.
Luke 13:3 says, "I tell you, no! But unless you REPENT, you too will all perish."
Acts 2:38 says, "Peter replied, “REPENT and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
2Corintians 2:10 says, "Godly sorrow brings REPENTANCE that leads to salvation..."
Repent comes from the Greek metanoia and means to change your mind. Good video
Everything in the New Covenant is about faith.
Under the law it was about what you do but under the New Covenant of Grace it’s about what you believe
The ENTIRE Bible is making a comparison between law and Grace, works and faith and how the flesh which is self effort works in tandem with the law to work earth while Grace through faith brings life.
When you tell most works based Christians that Paul called the law the Covenant of death they get confused and even deny it
It’s pretty crazy because they love their gold star getting, law keeping religion.
The thing is that it’s important to not only understand the characterization of both the law and Grace and teach them in contrast to one another because one you see how they’re polar opposites and what they represent it’s obvious what we’re being taught.
It’s just that we’ve mixed the covenants due to a gross lack of understanding of this principal and works based salvation just really isn’t defensible once you actually look at scripture
The thing is there aren’t very many scriptures that really push that narrative but the less you actually read scripture and compare the verses that seem to contradict each other you just have to throw out Romans or Galatians altogether or play a really crazy game of Twister to make things say what they don’t
What if you honestly repent, honestly believe in Jesus, are trying to change your life, but you still feel the urges to do old sins again, and fall into sin from time to time again? Note that even when that happens, you feel dirty and get out of there the moment your senses come back to you.

@@OnoDiamante Thank you. That helped a lot.
Abide in the word say you have to turn sins
Most Evangelicals get the theology of biblical Repentance wrong. And I've only recently understood what biblical Repentance is. Most think it's doing a u-turn and turning away from sins. But this isn't repentance, this is the FRUIT of repentance.
Repentance is actually a gift from God and the power of the holy spirit and we are Incapable of repentance on our own. Repentance has basically 2 parts. Part one is the Law, in that we become aware of God's Law and we are terrified of a holy God, knowing the horrific consequences of our sins against Him, eternal damnation.
Part two is the Gospel, turning to Jesus Christ by faith for the forgiveness of our sins, Christ keeping the law perfectly on our behalf and paying the penalty for our sins on the cross.
In summary repentance is conviction under God's law that we are sinners and that we deserve hell for our sins, and then turning to Jesus Christ by faith for the forgiveness of our sins. That's what repentance is.
Turning from our sins is the FRUIT of repentance, and should flow from the knowlege of God's kindness and His salvific works on our behalf, but turning from sins is not in itself repentance. Let's be realistic here ok, we all know it's impossible to be morally perfect or keep God's laws for even 10 seconds. There's a pound of flesh in everything we think and do, and every day we sin in thought, word, and deed.
So repentance isn't something WE do, because it's a gift from God. Instead we should constantly be looking to God and what He has done FOR US in the person and work of Jesus Christ. We're way worse at keeping God's Laws than you think! But as Christians we are no longer under the Law but under grace. So we need Christ and the gospel in our focus 24/7 to constantly remind us that God will never disown us or even look at us with disfavor when you sin, and in fact He sees you as perfect as Christ is perfect.
Our only hope as Christians is to trust/have faith in Jesus Christ as our only assurance of salvation, instead of looking at our own works, and our complete inability to keeps God's law for assurance of salvation. Faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins will bring us peace and joy.
Conversely, hyperfocus on our inability to not sins and constantly wondering if we are doing enough "christian things" like prayer or reading your Bible will only lead to doubts and despair. Don't look at your own failures at keeping God's Laws, but look to Jesus who kept God's laws perfectly on your behalf and paid your sin debt so you can be forgiven, freely, by faith alone, without the burden of God's laws crushing your spirit. That is the simplicity and the beauty of the gospel.
@dc-wp8oc its absolutely ridiculous to think that sin is a gift from a holy God.
@dc-wp8oc haha good guess, I got saved in 2000 and belonged to Baptist church until last year, then I began attending a Lutheran LCMS church its a great church, and they seriously respect the gospel. It's not Cavinism, but I've learned to embrace the mysteries of God. I still believe the calvinist doctrine of total depravity, LCMS does too, and I believe the doctrine of TD is clearly taught in the bible, that the Spirit gives life and the flesh doesn't. but it also teaches us plainly to repent and believe the gospel. This is a mystery that the bible gives here, but as long as there isn't a contradiction. Then I just embrace the mystery
@dc-wp8oc Calling one of Christ's sheep a liar! Wow, such a wonderful Christian ethic you have there. I don't have to explain anything to you. I could if I wanted to, but you disgusted me
@dc-wp8oc "it appears from your comments that what satisfies you is man-made religion and dogma, and by your comments, it seems you have found it."
When you write on here what I quoted you as saying above, then you are saying something about me that isn't true. It's a lie. And everyone who reads your comment here might be convinced of a lie. Do you really want to spread lies? If I wrote the same thing about you, I'm sure you would understand. But you are making some very big assumptions based on very little information or misinformation. You dont know anything about me. Do you think the LCMS is a false religion? Lol, that's a good one. Maybe you have the LCMS confused with the ELCA.The ECLA is definitely stocked with heterics of every stripe, but the LCMS is biblical, conservative, Christ-centered to its core, faithful to the Scriptures, and they are very careful to distinguish between Law and Gospel in their teachings and application; which is why I left my former church, because they confused the two all the time. I'm asking you to retract your insinuation that I'm satisfied with man-made religion and dogma. Seriously, there is nothing more disgusting and nauseating to me than false religion, except you making your untruthful and unfounded accusation against me

I'll admit when I saw your "repent of sins" video I thought you were teaching repentance is not necessary. I'm glad that's not true. I've been in arguments about this where people say it is not and call me a false teacher for standing by repentance and pointing out that it is spoken of all through the bible.
You say the bible says faith alone saves us not works and if you don't believe it is Jesus alone, then you're not saved. So what about people going through times of doubting their slavation or feeling like works are what matters even if they are wrong? Everyone goes through that at times, does that mean you can lose your salvation because you go through seasons of doubt that you are saved and your faith is not as strong?
No. We are saved through a non-meritorious moment of faith. If an individual truly believes in Christ and then, subsequently, their faith falters or fails, they are still eternally secure. The Bible says, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful; he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13
@@OnoDiamante thank you so much for replying. Do you see where that would cause confusion for me? You have helped so many people. There is NOTHING else on TH-cam like what you are doing. I have spent so much energy and stress on fearing that I've lost my salvation. I have seen in your videos you say Satan wants us to fear our salvation. Why do you think he wants that? It makes sense because it causes fear but do you think it affects our ministry? It probably also causes people to turn away I bet too.
