What Did I Say About Repentance?

You want to know what I said about repentance? Let Me remind you. In Matthew 4:17, I began My public ministry by saying: “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The first word I preached was repent. Turn from sin-because the Kingdom is here, and you must be ready.

In Luke 5:32, I said: “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” I didn’t come for those who think they’re already clean-I came for those who know they need to change.

In Luke 13:3, I warned: “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” This is not just a suggestion-it is life or death. Without repentance, there is no salvation.

In Luke 15:7, I said: “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Heaven rejoices-not over perfection, but over repentance. One heart turning back brings great joy.

In Luke 24:46-47, I said after rising from the dead: “Thus it is written… that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations.” This message wasn’t temporary. It was meant to go to every nation, every person-including you.

Why Do My Words Matter? Why Should You Listen to Me? Because I only spoke what the Father sent Me to say-and repentance is His call to life. In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me… gave Me a commandment… and I know that His commandment is life everlasting.” Repentance isn’t about shame-it’s about turning to the life the Father offers.

And in Matthew 24:35, I said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Feelings fade. Moments pass. But the command to repent-and the promise of forgiveness-will  never fade. So if you’re still asking, “What did You say about repentance?”

Here’s My answer: Repent-because the Kingdom is here. Repent-or you will perish. I came for sinners who are willing to turn. Heaven rejoices when you return. This message is for the whole  World-And it is for you.
