It is popularly and commonly known that “a journey of a
thousand miles begins with just a step”, so being a born again has a starting
point. This is to say that there are things or you obviously needs to start
somewhere else.
Now, we are precisely going to talk about the ‘how to repent”. Of course, many
individuals, persons, traditionalists, atheist etc have been aspiring to repent
but don’t even know where to start. Many still surf for the ways to repent but
it proved to no avail.
Previously, we lamented on the three letters all
personalities mustn’t joke with, and it has been the same issue youths of our
days encounter. In our current dispensation, so many things happen, people are
dying, some are being born, so many are sitting helplessly in an hospital bed,
few can only carter for themselves, majority are living in an abject poverty
etc, having realizing these issues, you’d realize that it is only repentance can solve this problems.
WHAT IS REPENTANCE?
It is obvious that a lot people from different local
circumstances do not or are still wondering around the walls regarding what
this Repentance really is. This is to say that there is need to fathom what it
really means.
Generally, the word repentance simply means to the fact of
showing that you are sorry for something wrong that you did. Now come to think
of it, did we ever do anything wrong? To who have we wronged? Are we all
offenders?
The soonest you’d provide answers to those question the
better for this unavoidable thing to do. Since men are not known to be a
perfect fellow, it simply means that we all do wrong. The moment we are
perfect, there is every possibility that we must be in a mess (sin). You might
not regard this, but I tell you today that every man is a sinner, and we have
wronged only man, and that person is JESUS. Everyday going by, we do our own
thing without seeking for that man’s (JESUS) wishes and consent.
WHO IS
JESUS?
I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some persons who haven’t
heard about Him yet. This is probably because there are some categories of
persons called the Atheist. Is that really possible? Yes I thought. There are
some persons who hadn’t known about JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS CHRIST is the only son of GOD. He’s the same Man who
came and died for us, for our sins, He’s blood is the only cleansing bam that
could clean and wash away our sins.
How to Repent
To repent, you will have to follow these steps;
ADMIT
You need to admit that you are a sinner, “For all (humans)
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”. Also, the wages of sin is
death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans
3:23, 6:23).
REPENT
For Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out for if we confess our sins, He’s faithful and just to forgive
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous (Acts 3:19, 1st John 1:9).
BELIEVE
That God loves you and Jesus died for you. God commendeth his
love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans
5:8).
INVITE
Specifically invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, “Behold I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door, I (Jesus) will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). Then after that, believe that you are saved.
