Why does God want us to Repent?
We all need to repent
because we have betrayed God with our sins.
"At last my people will confess their
sins, and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me, and being hostile toward me."
Leviticus 26:40
Repentence is necessary for an
ongoing relationship with God.
"The Lord God is gracious and merciful.
If you return to him, he will not continue to turn his face from you.
2 Chronicles 30:9
Forgiveness of sins and entrance
to the kingdom of heaven is only for those who have turned away from their sins and turned to God.
"Peter's words convicted them deeply,
and they said to him and to the other apostles, 'Brothers what should we do?' Peter replied, 'each of you must turn
from your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then
you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Acts 2:37-38
**Gods
Promise**
"If my people who are called by
my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven
and will forgive their sins and heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14
If you are letting someone stand between
you and the Lord...They are closer to Him than you are.
