For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.”

James 1:21-22
“preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
2 Timothy 4:2-4
often the things in the bible that are good and necassary and clear can get blotted out over time . Repentance in the modern church has become like a four letter word. But throughout Gods word it is a calling and gift that saves souls from sin and is the purpose of Christ coming into the world to save sinners calling them into repentance
If we hear a version of the gospel that doesn’t include the importance and essential nature of repentance and salvation. we should pause and ask why ?
sinners and repentance don’t have to be opposed sinners can embrace it and make the heavens rejoice
God bless you and keep you in his ways and on his paths
