- Repentance was a major issue as outlined in Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. Back then and still today, people are confused about what repentance means. Repentance is a change of mind, not a work that one must do such as it is often taught: turn from sin, stop sinning, offer sacrifice, do penance. Eliminate your confusion and learn the true meaning of repentance, as we continue our series of lessons about Martin Luther’s ninety-five theses, in this lesson titled, “Repentance Confusion.”

Great explanation. This topic is a stumbling block to the majority of "Christianity" today. Works based salvation is a part of most denominations even if they claim it isn't. They try to sneak it in with the "changed life" doctrine where the tail wags the dog. They redefine the word "repentance" and turn it into works.
You are so right!
IF repentance is works then believing is works since they are both required.
@@2Chronicles714_ Chapter and verse????
i was also in this false repentace system but it brought me nothing but mysery
once i understood that all my sins were paid on the cross i started to experience this freedom because on what Jesus did.
i will sease to think what my good actions are but only thank God on what Jesus did for me and the whole world.
A work ? no it's a renewal of my mind.and because i was in this : turn or burn or obey or go to hell mindset.
Even when i say i want to make sure that i won't forget what Jesus has done is also a work.
So i realize and think : Stop Franky .It's finished it's allready provided Jesus has done everything for me and the world but i need to understand
it is not me in this flesh who gets justified.it's my new position that trust that the sins i commited or will commit in the future are allready covered by him who has justified the ungodly.i have tasted the fruits of innocence because of him and was in peace.
At the same time i also understand as long as i live i have to deal with my old nature with my position in christ who saved me
Repentance is a change of mind from unbelief to belief AS WELL AS a change of mind from living in darkness (sin) to living in the light (Jesus).
Exodus 32v14] And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Jonah 3v9] Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
[10] And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. So God lived in darkness before?
Some people just don’t get it Derek. No matter how many times you try to explain it to them even you show them the verses. They can’t see it because these things are spiritual discerned”
Absolutely works do not get you into heaven…once saved all sins past/present/future are forgiven. Once saved a person should have a change of mind in the way they live.
It’s a pain that you will have when you make the wrong choice/wicked thoughts/sin. Repent/regret/change your mind. (The no go list)
@derekbrothers4988
In Hebrew Repent means turn from.
Jonah 3:8-10
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them Turn EVERY ONE FROM HIS EVIL WAY, (Repent) and from the violence that is in their hands 9Who can tell if God will turn and repent, [change His mind](and turn away from his fierce anger,that we perish not.
10
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; (They REPENTED of their evil works) and God repented( relented) of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; AND HE DID IT NOT.
They turned from their (sins) which pleased God so God didn't destroy them.
Jesus reaffirms this in
Matthew 12:41
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation
and shall condemn it: because they REPENTED at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
They repented of sin to avoid destruction.
It's not works.
1 Samuel 15:29
And also the Strength of Israel [God] will not lie
nor repent for He is not a man man,that He should repent.
Read the last part again.
He is not a man that shall [in modern English] repent.
If Sodom and Gomorrah would have repented of their evil works [Sin] then God would not have destroyed them.
The same thing goes for all of us if we don't repent of our evil works [sins] God will destroy us in the lake of fire.
I have really enjoyed this series on reformed doctrine and how it affects most believers today.
Thank you Br Justin for teaching this and letting anyone interested to learn these great truths.
Br George (NZ)
Amen! It’s conviction of sins and turn from unbelief to belief and believe the gospel of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
Then you repent of your sins after you are saved not for your salvation.
He just touched on a vital point! You cannot approach God to confess your sins! under the law or under Grace! That is the reason Christ had to do it all!
Our flesh does not change over night, it is a growing process.
Great teaching. Need more teachers like you for sure!
Very well explained brother Justin. A great message.
Amen, great message!
Really Good teaching !!!
Refering to minute 4, while i visited Mexico City in the early 70s, i witnessed a man crawling on his bloody knees towards the front door of the main Catholic Church there. He crawled for approx 75-100 yards. I was stunned and the sight will never leave my memory.
Amen, all glory to God
So helpful to understand what repentance means. Thankyou.
Hallelujah!
Good
We are to be sorry for sins and ask God to change our heart where we do his will and not the will of the flesh.
He has to teach his will but he does not hold our sins and iniquites against us.
How sorry do you have to be? What degree?
@@sandytinky the sorry means to humble. There is no degree.
@@shellyblanchard5788 How humble? I assume there must be a line. Not sorry ( or "humble") enough equals no salvation. Correct?
Godly sorrow worketh repentance. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Have you read the Bible at all Sandy?
@@bobbyadkins6983 How "sorrowful" must one be? Odd, considering the Bible says all one needs to be saved is faith. Believing that what Jesus did on the cross, He did for me. (John 3:16). Jesus never turns anyone away who comes to Him asking for salvation. (John 6:37).
If a certain measure of sorrow is required, most people would live in fear that they somehow were not "sorrowful" enough to be saved. Paul made it completely clear what is required for salvation. Read Acts 16:30-31. People like you, and Pastors such as the one above, always add conditions to salvation. Theirs (and yours) is a works based gospel. A gospel where one must "perform" to earn, or prove, salvation. Such as those who add baptism, turning from all sin, or stopping certain behaviors like smoking or even dancing. Like I've proven - you sin every single day, James. According to what you believe, you, by your own definition, are not a Christian.
love the taco bell repentance definition😀
Did not God know the end from the beginning, of course. So, it’s difficult for me to even accept the definition of repent as changing one’s mind. If God knew ahead of time that he would change his mind but at the same time he already knew the end from the beginning, did he not just change course? Was Peter not telling the Jews to change course? Doesn’t Paul do the same in using the term? God chose to go one direction for a time to prove a point about mankind and knew that at a certain point in time he would change direction or change course.
If we replace the the term repent with change course, doesn’t it become perfectly clear?
Jesus told a man to sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you.
Yet you yourself continue to sin. Which makes you a hypocrite.
@@sandytinky Please keep studying and praying. By the way, am I speaking to a girl, boy, man or woman?
@@bobbyadkins6983 Why should my age or gender matter to the discussion?
Look up 3340 in The New Strong's Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words, which includes the best of Vine's. It will tell you what repentance means.
The wages of sin is death not repentance
Jesus,John the Baptist Peter and Paul all made it clear that we must repent of our sins to inherit the kingdom of God. Repentance does not mean to change one's mind only about unbelief, but to make a change in heart and mind to turn away from your old sinful life to serve Christ.
Salvation is not complete without repentance of sin.
so the second before you die you commit a sin and do not have time to ask for forgiveness. Opps, sorry, your rejected by God? Really?
@danfleming6665
A change of mind about not continuing living in sin will result in a change of direction.
IF you sin cry out to God for forgiveness.
Not only must we confess sin (1John1:9),
but we must forsake it. Run away from it. One old definition of repentance is to leave the sin I've done before, and show I've earnestly grieved by doing it no more.
If a man is genuinely born again, all old things are passed away, all things have become new.( 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Too many today are preaching a perverted gospel to make it as palatable as possible. They give them a shot of love and grace without any warning of a looming judgment of hell for any who think because of grace they can continue living no different than before.
Those that believe that a change of conduct [Repenting of sin] is works are making our Lord's death on the cross meaningless.
He didn't die for sins to give a green light to live like a demon.
Galatians 6:7-8
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
A rebirth in Jesus means a new heart, a new mind, a new spirit, a new person.
Galatians 5:24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
IF you love anyone or anything more than Jesus, it's an idol.
IF Jesus preached the way many do today, they wouldn't have crucified Him.

I Never said that.
I use Today's Parallel study bible. KJV isn't the Word of God for English people, it was based on a collection of texts authorized by man, not authorized by God. It is best to compare the major English translations when we study. Even paraphrases are good for reading, but not in depth study.
Which major english translations you suggest? Because of modern philosophical understanding of the bible many scholars have mistranslate or so to say change the word of the bible out of context... Especially those replacement theologians and amillenialist scholar have led many bible students and most of bible seminary in a wrong biblical understanding....
Example #1: the word 'covenant' in place of 'testament' etc... There are so many misused of the words...
Trinitarian and deity of Christ Believers are also Roman Catholics and haven't left the Roman Catholic Church
This video is full of heresy.
How so?
Please explain
Full of heresy really??? Please explain these heresies to me. This is a great word biblical and well explained . A real eye opener. I would be careful calling this brother a heretic.
If you say thisi is Heresy... I think you are in a real problem... Or you are chained by men's traditional teaching
yep. sure is
This teaching present a false dichotomy. You do not understand that which you attempt to refute, but more significantly, you do not understand the Scriptures or how to handle them. These teachings tear people away from the side of Christ. You know not of which you speak!
