What is Repentance?
It’s what we, as sinners, are told is needed for us to enter Heaven. But why do we need to repent? True repentance is not just being sorry for your sins and asking God for forgiveness. It’s doing a 180-degree turn in your life. Stop going the wrong way and go the right way with Jesus. Here’s a short podcast that still holds. If you want to dig deeper, there’s a video at the bottom that explains what repentance meant in the Greek as it was written in the Gospel.

The Greek Meaning of “Repent” that Changes the Entire Gospel
If you’re not sure if you’re saved or not, if you truly want to be born again and have the assurance of salvation, receive the Holy Spirit, feel His Shalom — a peace that surpasses all understanding, and get a 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven after you die, or that you won’t be left behind at the Rapture, which can happen at any moment, this is what you have to do…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
- Believe — have Faith — that Jesus is the Christ, and He died taking your sins away forever, and that He rose from the dead 3 days later.
- Repent of your sins: In other words, stop sinning! Do a complete 180-degree turn in your life and surrender it all to Him. When you ask Jesus to forgive you, He will. ALL your sins will be wiped clean, past, present, and future! And All means ALL!
- Be Baptized by water baptism: Show the world and yourself that you have died to your old life and are born again in Christ.
- Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in your heart.
Invite Jesus into Your Heart and Receive the Gift of Grace, Joy, Peace, and the Confident Hope of Eternal Life…
