GOSPEL TRACTS

Repentance and Confession

Acts 20:21b says “Repentance unto God and faith in our Lord Jesus”.

True repentance causes man to turn back to God, to turn from not wanting and not facing God.

“If we do not have God, we will not be satisfied”—Ecclesiastes 2:1, 11.

Christ without, all is vain! Christ within, all is gain! All things are vain, Christ only is gain!

According to the original language in the Bible, repentance is related to a change of mind; we need to repent by turning our mind from other things to Him; with Him you will be satisfied, for He is not vain.

Unrighteousness and injustice are sin; God hates sin.

1 John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

Micah 7:19 says “He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities underfoot. And You will cast into the depths of the sea All their sins”.

“Though your sins are like scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are as red as crimson, They will be like wool”—Isaiah 1:18b.

“Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, / That saved a wretch; like me! / once was lost, but now am found, / Was blind, but now I see. / ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, / And grace my fears relieved; / How precious did that grace appear, / The hour I first believed! / The Lord hath promised good to me, / His word my hope secures; / He will my shield and portion be, / As long as life endures”.
