I believe repentance means this: Admitting that you are a guilty hell deserving sinner before the lord and then turning to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins(believing in the gospel ). ultimately leading to a change of heart; having God over sin.
Repentance = turning 180 degrees. We follow after sin before turning to Jesus. God's work of grace through faith brings salvation, and His goodness leads us to repentance. They go hand-in-hand. James is right, too, that was an appositive/parallel statement. Repentance is dear to God's heart.
It's called an appositive. When we repent from following after our sin, we turn to Jesus. He highlights that through several videos. It's pretty Scriptural, see if Jesus says to "repent" at any time in Luke 13
@FORMETOKNOWONLY I did not hear this, even after hearing it again? He says that you need to repent (as Jesus and the prophets and the apostles all stated), AKA turn from your sins and instead put your faith in Jesus.
@jameskmacdonald I turned on CC and according to it he said: "We need to repent, we need to turn away from our sins, and we need to believe in Jesus and cherish Him".
Again, I have a problem with the way it is presented. Have a nice day.
@Duck4212 It's a part of the same process. Jesus did say, ''The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel' in Mark 1:14-15.
For salvation we need only to believe and trust in Christ's finished work on the cross, not repent of sins or any other work. When Peter is talking about repentance he is refering to a change of mind and now believing the Gospel.
Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Sin? Why not use Romans 1? For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men... - Romans 1:18. being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful - Romans 1:29-31.

Yes! Truth! I pray that the Lord gives everyone who sees this video the eyes to see the truth. And the heart to understand....the truth can be fearful for those that don't have the ears to hear! His truth through his word will not come back void!!
Amen! I think this is something peple really need to watch. That the reason that there are so many negative comments on this is because people don't like to think of themselves as bad people who no matter what they do, they can never amount to the Glory of God. But the thing they don't realize is, God is NOT human! He created us to be in his likeness. "to be" being that he knows we arent. We arent perfect, but we must strive to be. :] Good word. Keep making videos PREACH IT
Amen Bro... Thanks so much for the reading and interpretation... For it's only through the Son, that we may go before the Father... Good Words for a month of surgery's ahead of me because of AOD from the 60's...May God Bless and Continue to guide you in your preachings...
Another excellent video, the last month has been very hard but worth it, alot of people don't get why I became a christian, but thank you for your videos and your messages, I can never thank you enough and really Jesus.
my life has been changing lately, and Ive been noticing myself drifting away from from god...I tried talking to some close people about this, but it didnt seem to help..when i thought this was it, and my relationship with the lord was done, I suddenly checked my e-mail and got a friend request from you...I clicked on it and it brought me to this video!! this changed everything for me! thank you!!
Fantastic video! Thank you.
I only wish you had lead the viewer in a "sinner's prayer" as well!
