Christians say that our sins are nailed to the cross, but what does that mean? This means that the cross of Jesus accomplished atonement for our sins. However, it also means that in our everyday lives, sin must be left to die on the cross with Christ. We call this repentance, or in days past, the “mortification of the flesh.” How is this accomplished? I’d like to offer six necessary components of personal sanctification and devotion that I have gleaned from Scripture and various authors who have

The religious leaders from Jerusalem have been telling the people that Jesus is doing his mighty miracles through the power of the devil. Jesus told these leaders that Satan doesn’t work against himself, and that he has power over Satan. Now, Jesus continues. Is there a sin that cannot be forgiven: an unpardonable sin? And what exactly is it? Let’s look at the context. Jesus said this because the religious leaders were denying the work of God and attributing it to the devil.

God is inviting me into a place of repentance. No easy task, the work of true repentance brings deep rest to the Christian.
This view isn’t “works theology”, “anti-grace” or “legalism”. It’s scripture. Good works would include (but are not limited to) preaching the word, leading the lost to Jesus, providing and caring f…

4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him.

Just like piano students, sinners saved by grace must learn to press on toward righteousness when mistakes are made.
Matthew 4:17. (Bible verse image from Bible Portal)The road to recovery can feel like a dusty desert, the sun beating down on cracked earth. Mistakes whisper from the sand, echoing the hurt we caused ourselves and others. But amid this arid landscape, a hidden spring of hope waits to be...

Milton Brunson & The Thompson Community Singers Recently, I thought back on this gospel hit from my teenage years and asked myself... How can we be safe in His arms if we are not close? We can't. So, what keeps us close to God? Repentance. Sounds simple, but it never is because of what pulled us away in the first place. Sin. You and Sin Sin's sole purpose is to manipulate your relationship with Go
Jesus returns from the wilderness and begins preaching the Gospel. There are lots of people today who’ll tell you what the Gospel is. But let’s hear it from Christ’s own lips. The statement, “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” must have been something that Jesus would have often repeated during the early part of his ministry. It was an exciting message for the people to hear. But the idea of the kingdom of God having come near didn’t mean that it was near, but not here. It actually meant that the kingdom of God was present here and now. It meant that while there was nothing that the people could do to reach the kingdom of God, the kingdom of God had come to them.

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” -Matthew 3:1-2, NIV Can someone be forgiven without repentance? I do not think so. If it was otherwise, why did John the Baptist need to preach a message of repentance to prepare the way … Continue reading "Can someone be forgiven without repentance? No."
