After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!
The call from Jesus to mankind everywhere is "repent and believe the Gospel" for the kingdom of God is at hand.
The “Gospel” that Jesus preached means “Good News”. The good news about God’s love for the world that was proven through Christ death on the “Cross.”
This “Good News” has the power to bring about salvation in the life of all who would believe regardless of how far you may have gone in sin.
Repent! Come to Jesus, for He is calling you. Can’t you feel God tugging of your heart right now?
Repent is the Greek word Metanoiein, which means to change one’s mindset.
Repentance does not end with the feeling of remorse and guilt.
If a person with a penitent heart is serious about change in their life, action will follow and be proven in the direction and choices one makes from that moment forward.
In other words, after repentance comes action. This action leads to a prayerful life, a life of study in the Word of God, a life that desires to please God, a life of moral living and a life that knows, understands and applies love for God and love for others through faith in Christ Jesus.
When we accept Christ as Lord and Savior in our lives, we are saying to the adversary and to the world that we renounce sin and evil doings.
There is a bell ringing from heaven to earth. A “Clarion Call” to repentance is being sent forth to every man, woman, boy, , girl, every city and state in America and around the world.
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles” (Rom 1:6, NIV).
America, God is calling us back to Him and we must do it now and with urgency!! No more procrastination!
There is a reward for those who choose not to drift away from God in a world where the “wide” road of destruction is getting wider. It’s time to let your nay be nay and your yea be yea. No more double mindedness.
The Apostle Paul describes how one gains this reward, and what it is. “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith. 8 From now on a crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved His appearing” (2 Tim. 4:7-8, NIV).
The question to be answered from this day forward is “ are you willing to repent and turn to God” as He commanded you to do in this text.
The days and years are fleeting! What are you going to do about it?
My prayer is that you ponder these questions today, and answer those thoughts with a desire of surrender to God, with application in your life, while you are still in your right mind.
The choice is ours. Obey God or obey self? Which will it be for you? Both will produce a harvest. One of life everlasting with the Father and one of eternal separation from the Father.
My prayer for the people of America on today is that we would ‘REPENT’ and turn back to God.
I look forward to hearing your personal testimony on today of how you obeyed God and repented of your sins against Him, and how His Holy Spirit is now restoring and leading you into His path of righteousness for His name sake.
God bless.
