Repentance

[Squeakybro]

Repentance needs to be Specific
[Rom 9:13
[13] As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."
[Heb 12:16-17
[16] lest there [be] any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. [17] For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

xxx Repentance is an acknowledgment of the sin. If you dont repent of each sin when you commit it, your not forgiven of it. If you try general repentance for all your sins your not acknowledging that you know you sinned.Or which sin it is you committed. God has told you that He will forgive you 7 times 70 times a day, if you repent. You must repent of each sin. Or are you like Esau who God wouldnt show him what to repent of.
[Heb 12:6-7
6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives." 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
[Heb 12:8
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
[Mat 18:21–22
[21] Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
[22] Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
[2Pe 3:9–11
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
[11] Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
[Luk 6:36–38
[36] "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
[37] "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
[38] "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
[2Pe 3:9–11
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
[11] Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

xxx Repentance is the way you show God you understand which sin you commit. And you regret it.And if God is going to forgive you 7 times 70 times a day. You better understand He takes it very serious.

You Must Repent To Be Forgiven
[Mar 1:15
[15] and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
[2Pe 3:9
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
[Act 17:29-31
] [29] "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.
[30] "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
[31] "because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."
[Luk 13:1-3
[1] There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
[2] And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all [other] Galileans, because they suffered such things?
[3] "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
[Luk 24:45-48
[45] And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
[46] Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
[47] "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
[48] "And you are witnesses of these things.
[2Co 12:20-21
[20] For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and [that] I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest [there be] contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;
[21] lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.
[1Jo 1:6-10
[6] If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
[7] But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[9] If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
[2Pe 3:9
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

xxx One must repent to be forgiven. To repent one must regret what they done. If one has no regret over what they done they have an evil conscience, and no fear of God in their hearts. God is seeking those that fear Him. People dont fear Him because they dont believe Him. So the begining of forgiveness is the fear of God. If you fear God you will believe Him. If you believe Him, you will repent. If you repent you will be forgiven. You can be forgiven seven times seventy times a day. If you repent that many times a day.

[Luk 1:50
[50] And His mercy [is] on those who fear Him From generation to generation.
[Luk 12:5
[5] "But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
[Rev 19:5
[5] Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!"

[2Pe 3:9
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.One can be forgiven seven times seventy times a day.

xxx If you dont repent specificly your sin is written down in a book. If you wait until Judgment Day to repent, it will be to late.

[1Ti 5:24
[24] Some men's sins are clearly evident, preceding [them] to judgment, but those of some [men] follow later.

[Rev 20:12–15
[12] And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
[13] The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
[14] Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
[15] And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
