"The Repentant Heart Becomes a Redeemedj Soul"


“The Repentant Heart Becomes a Redeemed Soul”

 

You have no part or share in this matter, because your heart is not right before God.  Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.       Acts 8:21-22

We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.      Ephesians 1:7

 

To have a REPENTANT HEART, is to be SORRY for the wrong-doings that you are guilty of.  To be REMORSEFUL of the sins you have committed, is to have the desire to TURN AWAY from your sins, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  When you do this your feet are on the RIGHT path, which will lead you to an ETERNITY in Heaven.

 

Simon, was a man, who practiced sorcery, and when he heard Philip, a disciple  of Jesus Christ, preach the GOOD NEWS about the Kingdom of God, and of Jesus Christ, Simon BELIEVED and was BAPTIZED.  But Simon, offered money to the disciples, if they would lay hands on him, in order to RECEIVE THE Holy Spirit.  However, Peter told him, “May your silver be destroyed with you, because you thought the gift of God could be obtained with money!”  Peter was outraged at Simon’s request, Simon was only interested in the POWER of the Spirit.  And Peter’s STRONG words, were because of Simon’s misunderstanding of God’s GRACE, God’s FREE gift of SALVATION.

 

Therefore, Peter told him, what is also applicable to EVERYONE, who desires to be SAVED.  Your HEART is NOT right before God.  And you MUST REPENT of your SINS, and ask for God’s FORGIVENESS, which is considered a REPENTANT HEART before God.  If we CONFESS our sins, He (God), is FAITHFUL and RIGHTEOUS to FORGIVE us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)  Then the Holy Spirit of God comes and INDWELLS the BELIEVER.

 

Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, shed His precious BLOOD and DIED on an old, rugged cross to FREE MANKIND from their sins.  He IS the ONLY WAY for mankind to have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  This is REDEMPTION!  And it is the RESULT of a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  So when there is a TRUE REPENTANT HEART it becomes a REDEEMED SOUL.  Do you have a TRUE REPENTANT HEART and a REDEEMED SOUL?

 

If NOT, you can, if you will TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART that, Jesus died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and ESCAPE an ETERNITY, in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And possess a TRUE REPENTANT HEART and a REDEEMED SOUL.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
