Admit Your Sin and Repent!

editor

We find the Lord’s beginning message to all people to be very offensive today. Jesus does not try to build relationships, or slowly win a hearing of the community, but instead loudly attacks their foolish assumption that they are good people, living good lives, and accepted by God just the way they are. “From that time Jesus began to preach, crying out, ‘Repent ( change your mind for the better, heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Matt 4:17…

James 2:19-20 (NLT2) “You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. How foolish!

editor

Phase 1 Introduction: You Must Be Born Again To See Heaven! Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 NKJV How do you get your sins forgiven? “…Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].” Matthew 18:3 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of…
