ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY - PART 87

                                         ONE HEARTBEAT              AWAY

     PART 87


(copied from Mark Cahill's Book)

And this is how we are saved from being
declared "guilty,"  As we repent and believe
we become new creatures, born into God's
family and we are no longer under the
condemnation of the Law.

Let us see what else the Bible says about this:

"I tell you Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall
all likewise perish."
(Luke 13:3)

"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be 
 in heaven, over one sinner that repenteth,
more than ninety and nine just persons, 
which need no repentance. "  
(Luke 15:7)

"I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance."
(Luke 5:32)

"And I gave her space to repent of her 
fornication: and she repented not. 
Behold, I  will cast her into a bed, and
them who commit adultery with her
into great tribulation, except  they repent
of their deeds."
(Revelation 2:21-22)

"And the rest of the
 men who were not 
killed by these 
plagues, yet repented 
not of the works of        their hands, that they 
should not worship 
devils, and idols of
gold and silver, and brass and stone, and of wood: which neither 
can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, 
nor of their sorceries,  nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts. "
(Revelation 9: 20-21)

"And from that time, Jesus began to 
preach and to say, Repent: for the 
Kingdom of God is at hand. '
(Matthew 4:17)

Jesus had all of eternity to think about what
His first words would be when His ministry
began. You know how important it is to say
the right thing at the start. That is why Jesus'
first words in His public ministry were:
".........repent ye, and believe the Gospel"
(Mark 1:15)

So, why did He choose  "repent."
