Admin	You can be a part of the Family of God Posted : 23 Apr, 2010 09:34 AM In the beginning, man disobeyed God and brought a curse upon man and the earth, because they followed Satan's lie, but the lord said: He would make a way for man to be brought into the family of God: 14 � And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his head Mankind needed a savior, so the father sent his son:Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us�ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 � For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. All you have to do after hearing this word, is believe and confess with your mouth the lord Jesus and the word of God and the Holy Spirit will create in you a new spirit and a right heart. Post Reply

View Profile History	You can be a part of the Family of God Posted : 23 Apr, 2010 04:10 PM To repent is to turn around and walk in the opposite direction. The command of the Gospel is to repent and follow Jesus instead of following the Devil and Sin. Once the decision to follow Jesus is made and a person has turned to follow Him they have repented. I'm not so sure that the idea that a Christian has to repeatedly repent is a Biblical perspective. That would mean that every time we need to confess we also need to repent. But from what? Our confession is evidence that we have repented or we would not be interested in confessing, which we weren't when we were unsaved. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us. There is no mention of repentance. Thunder Post Reply
