🔸️ The true gospel that emphasizes "repentance!" 🔸️

Beginning with John the Baptist, Lord Jesus Christ, Paul, Peter and all the other Apostles preached "repentance" first and foremost. But today, unfortunately, the position of preaching about "repentance" is being placed lastly!!

In contrast, the God-centered gospel calls men to "repent"! Following are the challenges to people, for true repentance:

 ▪︎ Everyone must return from the "self" that occupies the primary position in their lives!

 ▪︎ Must come back from doing self-will!

 ▪︎ Must come back from the way, known on their own!

 ▪︎ Come back from the love of money!

 ▪︎ Come back from the lusts of the World—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life!

 Above all:

 ▪︎ Come back to God!

 ▪︎ Come back to love Him whole heartedly!

 ▪︎ Come back to do God's will, keeping Him at the center of life, from now on!

Faith in "Christ's death on the Cross" would only forgive one's sins, if he repents! After that, he will receive the power of the Holy Spirit's anointing and with that power, he will be able to hate his own self every day... therefore he can live a God-centered life!! This is the gospel that Jesus and the Apostles preached!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father! Give us the grace to leave every impurity we see in our lives, to repent and to become like Jesus! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
