MINISTUDY: REPENTANCE What It Really Is - Richard H Sedliacik - March 1979

Richard H Sedliacik

What does it mean to repent? Is real repentance just an emotional feeling? Is it merely feeling sorry for having made some mistakes in one's life? Let's examine several basic scriptures detailing God's definition of real repentance. How is sin defined in the Bible? I John 3:4. Has every human being sinned? Romans 5:12. What penalty is exacted because of sin? Romans 6:21, 23. All human beings who have not repented are, so to speak, on spiritual death row - awaiting execution of a justly deserved ultimate capital punishment. This eternal penalty was earned by simply doing what comes naturally - sinning! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
