Repentance Alone Doesn't Bring Salvation? What God Really Wants From Us! by gabbijason(m): 9:13am On Jan 17, 2021
Yesterday, we talked about what man is made of. We discussed man as a spirit being, possessing a soul and encased in a body.

God relates and accesses us through our spirit.

Prov 20:27
The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one's inmost being.

Today we will be dwelling on the soul as pertaining to our relationship with God. (Heb 4:12)

The soul of a man entails the mind, will and emotions.

When a man gets saved this part of a man begins a process of conversion. We are supposed to feed our mind with the word of God with the intent to align our own will with God's will. (Psalm 19:7)

Our mind is where thinking occurs, and it houses our information and perception. Unfortunately it does not get recreated(changed) along with our spirit. So, the previous perception and behavioural patterns remains, but this is a wrong way to continue living our life. We have got to REPENT!

Alot of people think when we repent e.g quit smoking or fornication, it means we are born again. It is not true! Repentance alone will not get you saved. Salvation comes by acknowledging the finished work of Jesus on the Cross for us. (Romans 10,9,10) Thereafter, to live a successful Christian life, a Christian would need to repent and change their mindset.

Romans 12:1-2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. ."

Wow! Did you see that? You see why studying God's word is so important? In God's Agenda, Aknowledging His blood brings you salvation, and fellowship with His word brings you transformation. The word to a Christian is like oxygen to human beings. You cannot flourish in your Christian walk without God's word. Get back to His word ASAP.. lol. His word will bring you faith, nourishment. (1 Peter 2:2)
(Psalm 19:7).

Prayer
I pray for you today, that the Spirit of the Lord will help you and stir your hunger for Jesus, that you may understand His Love and be Impacted with passion to live for Him. Hallelujah
