Theme for the Week: THE WHOLE WORLD STANDS CONDEMNED
Reading: Matthew 3:1-2
_______________________
Matthew 3:2 (NKJV)
and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
According to the English Dictionary, to repent is to feel and show that you are sorry for something bad or wrong that you have done. Thus, repentance is not just a feeling you experience, it is an act you show.
No wonder the verse 8 of Matthew 3 states it clear that you must bear fruit that befits repentance. The kingdom of God is at hand and to be worthy of God's kingdom, we must feel and show sorry for our wrong deeds.
God accepts the sinner who repents, no matter where you are coming from or whatever you have done. He is loving and forgiving, but He cannot forgive us unless we accept our flaws and bear the fruit that befits repentance. Today is the day; tomorrow might be too late. Repent! For the kingdom of God is at hand.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Lord God, You are a just God. Have mercy upon us, LORD, according to Your loving kindness and blot away our sins; for we are truly sorry and repent of our sins, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
