There is No Salvation, Without Repentance

 

*There is No Salvation, Without Repentance*

“Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your loving kindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight” —Psalms 51

What Does God Require?

In order for any person to obtain eternal life from God, the first and primary element that must be present in the heart, is genuine repentance.

 Many people are sorry for their sins, yet not sorry enough to change their life and seek to sin no more. True repentance compels the sincere to not only experience genuine sorrow, but also a earnest desire to cease from their former sins.

It is impossible to obtain salvation from Jesus, apart from a determined work of changing our previous behavior.

 All sins are equal before God and a consistent, unrepentant liar can miss eternal life, equally with a fornicator, or murderer. If we have been living in a sexual relationship with another person, outside of marriage, if a person is in a same-sex relationship, we must cease this relationship as a part of true repentance—before Jesus will grant us eternal life. If we have been a thief or liar during our life, we must cease from these two faults before the Lord will convey eternal life to our account.

In Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth, there was a young man in a sexual relationship with his father’s wife. The church did nothing to correct this behavior. When Paul learned what had taken place, he encourage the members of the Corinthian church to remove the young man from the fellowship, so that he might come to his senses and repent.

In Paul’s second letter to the same church at Corinth, the young man had ended this sexual relationship and was welcomed back to the church. Paul taught the members of this church, in chapter 7 of 2 Corinthians, that genuine sorrow over our sin that results in true repentance, produces changes in our behavior:

“For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.” ~2 Corinthians 7:10

When a person realizes that their behavior is wrong and they want God to forgive them, if the sorrow is the kind God requires, the person will change their behavior and not return to the former sin. The kind of sorrow that people feel in the world, does not produce repentance that changes the wrong behavior. 

We see this in the modern Progressive Christian Church that does not teach repentance from all sin, before God grants forgiveness and eternal life.

Judas Iscariot was sorry for what he did in betraying Jesus, but instead of correcting his behavior by returning to Jesus and seek forgiveness, Judas killed himself.

 If Judas had a genuine heart of repentance, he would have ended his betrayal of Jesus, and told Him that he was sorry for what he had done. Judas had a worldly sorrow, but it did not produce a changed life. 

The only kind of sorrow for our sins that will produce salvation, is when we are so sorry for our sins that we are willing to cease the sin, and not return to it again.

There is no salvation apart from repentance. There is no repentance without a change in the former lifestyle. There is no eternal life without a turning from sin, to Jesus for salvation.

Today, the modern church and much of the media church, has watered down the gospel of Jesus Christ to a point where it would be unrecognizable to the early church of Jesus in the first century. 

Today, many religious leaders tell their members that God will accept them, simply if they turn to Jesus and believe upon Him.

 We do not find this half-gospel anywhere in the New Testament.

Every person that Jesus called to follow Him, He called to end their former life of sin. When we find John the Baptist at the Jordan river, his primary objective was to turn the hearts of those who heard him, to repentance, so that they would be ready to receive the Messiah when he arrived.Luke 3:3-8

Jesus continued this message and made it clear that unless we all repent, we will all be lost—eternally

Jesus Speaking: “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” —Luke 13:3

Mary Magdalene has led a life of such sinfulness as a prostitute, that seven demons had chosen to occupy her body. She understood that if she was going to be free, should would have to forsake the old life that she had chose, and live a new life of righteousness. This was the message that Jesus carried from town to town, “your slavery to sin is at an end. The Messiah has come and He is about to bear all of your sin in His own body and remove them forever.

Any person who earnestly desires eternal life, must first come to Jesus in sincere horror over their sins and seek Him for their salvation. 

If we are unwilling to turn from our sins, salvation is not possible. If we are ready to begin a new life, Jesus is ready to convey an existence that is beyond our wildest dreams. It all starts with repentance.

 Repentance requires humility. Humility requires an end to pride.
