Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below). Today's episode is one that should not be missed! For I will be discussing: Without repentance, there is no forgiveness of sin. Peter, the apostle, said in Acts 3:19, "Repent therefore, and turn again, 👉🏾 that your sins may be blotted out." Amen! Repentance, properly defined, is necessary for salvation! In the Bible, the word repent means “to change one’s mind.” The Bible also tells us that true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8–14; Matthew 3:8, Romans 6:15-19; Galatians 5:19-26; 2 Corinthians 5:15; Matthew 16:24-28). Beloved, study these Scriptures for yourselves. In summarizing his ministry, Paul declares, “I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds” (Acts 26:20). So the question on the floor: Is repentance necessary for salvation? The short answer is Yes! For salvation comes through repentance! Some people say that you can believe in Jesus as “Savior,” but not as “Lord.” That is, you can believe in Him, but never repent of your sin. You can believe in Him and be saved, even if your life goes on just as it was before you came to Christ. Well, we know that this false teaching is none other than that damnable "Once saved/Always saved" false doctrine! Some people even claim that if we say repentance is necessary for salvation for the forgiveness of sins, we’re adding works to the Gospel. They claim that if repentance is required, then we’re no longer saved by God’s grace alone, but by WHAT we DO as well. But what does Scripture say? 🎯 Jesus says, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32) 🎯 Jesus told His disciples to proclaim “repentance and forgiveness of sins” in His name to all the nations" (Luke 24:47). When the apostles preached in the book of Acts, they called people to repent
