Fulfulling Our Duty to God: By Repentance from Dead Works

"But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die. None of the offenses he has committed will be remembered against him.

Because of the righteous things he has done, he will live. Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?"

Ezekiel 18:21-23 NIV

_______________

Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forevermore.

Psalm 37:27 KJV

_______________

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent.

Job 22:23 NASB

_______________

Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

Jeremiah 4:14 KJV

_______________

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

_______________

... From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 3:7 NASB

_______________

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of
our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him.


But now God has shown us a different way of being right
in his sight--not by obeying the law but by the way
promised in the Scriptures long ago.

We are made right in God's sight when we trust in
Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can
be saved in this same way, no matter who we are
or what we have done.

Romans 3:21,22 NLT

_______________

"I, the LORD, have called you to demonstrate
my righteousness. I will guard and support you,
for I have given you to my people as the personal
confirmation of my covenant with them.

And you will be a light to guide all nations
to me.

You will open the eyes of the blind and
free the captives from prison.

You will release those who sit in dark dungeons.

Isaiah 42:6,7 NLT
