Sermon: What is Repentence? What Does It Mean?

Hello my brothers & sisters first of all I just want to say Hallelujah!!! We say repent what does that mean? Well that's exactly what I want to talk about today. We all need to repent from time to time because none of us are perfect. I'm here to tell you I don't care  who you are we all fall short sometimes. God knows this which is why we repent. Lets take a moment to look at Ecclesiastes 7:20: For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. That right there says it all. We all sin from time to time but we have to know how to repent for those sins. When we repent god steps in and wipes our slate clean & forgives us. Don't let anyone tell you that they don't sin because its a lie and they just sinned when they told you that because they are deceiving themselves and the truth is not in them. God knows there is not a perfect man or woman on this earth. Read your word he tells you that he knows. My brothers & sisters I want to take a moment to look at 1John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. That is proof right there what god thinks about someone who claims to sin free. How many of us know the difference between right & wrong? We all should if you don't then you must be mentally challenged. With that being said. Sin is doing something that we know is wrong but we do it anyway. The thing we have to remember is if we get that feeling that says something is wrong with what we are doing and we do it anyway well you just sinned. Take a moment to look a James 4:17: Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and do it not, to him it is sin. Receive that in your spirit because its powerful. God said it so now you know what sin is. Another way to look at sin is all unrighteousness. The only man that walked the earth and was perfect was Jesus Christ. What is repenting? Repenting is the way provided by god for us to become free from our sins and receive forgiveness for them. Remember no sin is worst than another. We can repent from what ever sin we commit. As long as we are ready to put that sin behind us. Repenting makes it possible for us to develop & grow spiritually. That's the one thing that everybody avoids but is the key to us getting in the kingdom of heaven. Once we begin to build our relationship with god he will show us how to repent. The privilege of repenting was made possible by the Atonement Of Jesus Christ. Its a way we do not fully understand because Jesus paid for our sins. How do we repent? There is only one way for all of us and that is a long road spiked with thorns, briar's, pitfalls, and problems. In closing I will tell you this the time has come for you to give your life to the lord. We all need to repent on a daily basis. Its apart of our lifelong progress. God bless you and I hope you take something out of this sermon. This is a message from God brought to you by As One Ministries thank you.
