JESUS PREACHED REPENTANCE AS A CONDITION OF SALVATION
The meaning of the word Salvation is the deliverance from sin and its consequences. Sin separates us from Jesus. Jesus preached repentance as a condition to salvation 19 times and called the church to repent 7 times in the Book of Revelation. One of the assignments of demons is to speak to the minds (oppress) of Christians and entice them to justify staying in their sin instead of pursuing deliverance and freedom from it. Jesus never said for people to stay in their sin after He healed and delivered them. He told them to go and sin no more. He told everyone to repent for their sin and follow and obey Him and the Bible. Repenting means to change and turn away from sin and walk in obedience with God. When a Christian forgives all, repents for their pride and sin and is delivered from demonic strongholds in their souls then sin loses its attraction and then becomes rare in their lives. That’s why the Holy Spirit convicts us for sinning so that we change and make sin rare. We need the Holy Spirit to help us to forgive everyone and then repent for pride and sin and obey the Bible. The Holy Spirit speaks truth and tries to help us reject the thousands of demonic thoughts in our souls (minds) each day.
When you forgive everyone from your heart like Jesus said in Matthew 18:21-35 it removes the legal rights demons have to torment you in your mind and body. When you forgive others then Jesus will forgive you for your sins. Then you can repent for your pride and sin and will begin to change from living in your flesh and justifying sin in your life to walking in the fruit of the spirit like Jesus. You can then take every demonic thought in your mind captive and stop them from speaking to you by telling them to be silent. Jesus preached to repent for sin in Matthew 4:17, Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3, Luke 13:5, Luke 15:10, Luke 24:47 etc
Galatians 5:19-26 NKJV
“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Romans 6:15-23 NKJV
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Hebrews 10:26-31 NKJV
“For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
