repentance is to acknowledge our sins before God and become willing to part with the things the light of the gospel shows us is poisoning our soul for instance this is spiritual light for a believer in Christ
“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
Matthew 5:27-29
understand that Jesus isn’t telling us to cut out our eyes literally but if we hear and accept this as Gods word we will understand how dangerous lustful intentions can be and that we must repent of those inner things overcome sins grip on us . it becomes light to believe Jesus that shows us what causes us to fornicate , and commit adultery , and do all manner of sexual sins just for this one subject but all sin is motivated by what’s in our beliefs in our hearts
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:21-23 KJV
every sexual sin we commit is because we first harbor lust , and consider it in our thoughts and fantasies. But every violent sin we commit is motivated by grudges or greed and coveting or some other inner motivation . We only sin because our hearts understandings are sinful at points we have sinful desires in our nature that need to be fixed by believing the truth
Jesus taught us repentance all we have to do is hear the gospel he taught and accept it as we are able to understand it more And more he will lead us to leave our sinful ways whatever they are and at the same time he’s teaching us what to do like lovong others in deed and truth this replaces our capacity for sin an imparted love by faith but it’s a walk , a life process of pursuit and assurance in his presence
if we can stand in this light of the spirit he spoke to us and not reject it carry his words with us , then when a listful thought comes I to our mind , we recognize it immediately and reject the thought of lust because our faith is written with the words of the gospel in our hearts we understand list within is an enemy .
our work and battle is all spiritual , it’s in our mind and heart all of salvation is based on if we will believe the gospel .
so other things like “ greed and love of
Money “ Jesus teaches us about this and shows light on it . Grudge bearing against others Jesus teaches us the truth about these things that are all matters of salvation
It’s the heart that we need to get right of we believe right in our heart we will walk in repentance knowing the poison of sin but our only effort is to hold as tightly to Jesus and his Gospel as we can the word saves our souls if we believe by it’s design it cures our issues with sin causing repentance often we see what Jesus said and we disagree or it stings because we know it’s pointing us to repentance
if we by faith accept it even though it convicts us faith will cut the issue away because the issue is our flawed understanding of God and our true purpose and identity in his will
