This is huge! Many believe repentance can atone for their sins. If repentance has no context, it won't help you. As you'll hear from Ray, you can't stand before judge and say you're sorry and you won't do it again in hopes of being pardoned. Repentance is only rightly placed as a result of our seeing Jesus as our perfect Savior. As the Apostle Paul said, "repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ."
Jesus, God in human flesh, lived the perfect sinless life, died to take the punishment for our sins (the legal consequences of breaking God's law, the 10 commandments), rose again defeating death so we can not only be pardoned but enjoy eternal life with the triune God. Because Jesus died in our place, our death sentence to hell can be commuted and we can be given eternal life and the full forgiveness of sins. Will you do that today?
