REPENT (Teshuva)

[William H.]

Ps.5:4-5 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. <p>Repent and be about God's buisness.

All sin. 1 Jn.1:8-9 / Is.64:5-6/ Ps.14:1-3/ Rom.5:12/ (Rom.3:20,23/ Ecc.7:20 / ...) <p>  <p>By the right hand of HaShem is atonement provided.

Jn.10:27/ Jn.6:44/ Jn.15/ Rev.4:11/ Love isn't forced. Much like fishers of men look for those in which The WORD has sparked interest, The LORD is the heart knower. He takes pleasure in those in an ongoing relationship with him. There are good hearted people that bare fruits without much need of encouragement. God likes can do people rather than luke warm (Sower-Lk.11-14/ Rev.3:15-16/ Barren fig-Lk.13:6-9). He gave us The WORD that we may know him and walk in truth and light.

___Walk with God____________

* Heb.5:12-14

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 

* Heb.6:1-6 *

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.

(If it be God's will we shall increase in understanding of the Word once born of The Spirit and become fruitful)

For *it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

(What is "impossible"? (vs.1) To mature in a relationship with God after (vs.6) "falling away" (transgressing The LORD) unless we are moved to embrace repentance, seeing as we have disrespected Elohim. Its all about an ongoing relationship. Christ did his part/ and his sheep are drawn to be fruitful. Jn.6:44/Rev.3:20/ Jn.15:1-8) (Jn.3) 

 

1 Pet.2:1-10

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

__Example of maturity___________

Fear (Reverance) is the Beginning! (Ps.111:10 / Prov.1:7;9:10) Fear matures into LOVE:

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."- 1 Jn.4:18 <p>(Jas.1:14-15/ Heb.2:14/ 2 Pet.2:21)

REPENT: Mk.1:15, 2 Pet.3:9, Proverbs 28:13, Acts.2:21,Joel 2:12-13, Rom.10:9-10,13, 1 Jn.4:3, 2 Jn.1:7, Ps.32:5, (Dan.9:4) Matt.10:32, Lk.12:8;24:47, Rom.14:11,  Rom.15:9, Phil.2:11, Jas.5:16, 1 Jn.1:9, 1 Jn.4:2-3,15, Rev.3:5, Rev.12:11, Ps.116:4,13 (Ps.38:18/ Ps.41:4/ 1 Kings 21:27-29/ 2 Sam.12:13) 1 Jn.4:15 (Lam.3:40-42/ Is.1:10) Hosea 14:2,4 (Is.59:20) Eze.18:21-23,  John preached Matt.3:1-2, 7-12 (Acts 15:17) (Is. 54:5/ Is.62:2 / Zech.13:9/ Acts15:17) Acts 17:30/ *Is.55:7-9/ Lk.15:7, 2 Tim.2:25 (1 Tim.2:4) The wicked that repent shall live and the righteous that turn to iniquity shall perish *Eze.18:21-24 , * Eze.33:7-16

(for such a one thier latter state is worse than their former state Lk.11:26/ 2 Pet.2:20) Acts 17:30


We know that faith without works is dead (Jas.2:17,20,26), and we are saved by Grace through Faith (Eph.2:8). Without the Law there would be no Grace (Grace= unmerited/ undeserving favor). Those who dont recieve God's Grace shall be found guilty according to the Law. We can't Con God. Repentance comes from the heart. Those who do have a relationship with God are in communion with him to the extint that even if they were to transgress the Law of their heart they immediately are moved to repentance.

(circumcision of the heart Deut.10:16; 30:6/ Jer.4:4/ Rom.2:25-29/ Act.2:37-38/ Is.1:10/ Hosea 7:14/ Acts17:30)

Logic tells us that if one doesn't embrace God's mercy that they shall not recieve it. At the great white throne of judgement all will know Messiah. However not all will embrace God's will.

Discipline is good but in our weakness we find strength in Christ (*1 Jn.2:1/ *2 Cor.12:9-10/ Rom.7:14-25/ Gal.3:24-29/ ). We shall be known by our fruits. To show me your faith I would see your works /Lk.8:15. Even the demons believe (Matt.8:28-33/ Jas.2:19/ Matt.7:21) Yet they didnt embrace Repentance (Reverance God).Just claiming the identification without the relationship is to be found lacking Matt.7:21-23

2 Jn.1:8-9 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 

Wrought- G#2041 ; to toil (as a task, occupation, etc.), (by implication) effect, be engaged in or with, etc.: - commit, do, done, labor for, minister about, trade (by), work./
abideth- G#3306 A primary verb; to stay (in a given place, state, relation or expectancy): - abide, continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain, stand, tarry (for), X thine own. <p>Mk.13:13 / 2 Tim.2:3/ Jas.1:12/ Jas.5:11/ Eph.6:13/ 1 Chronicles 16:34 

Matt.4:17 "From that time Jesus (Yeshua) began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." / Sin is not "okay". (Matt.3:2/ Mk.1:15) Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 

Repentance -Heb. Teshuva/ Gr. metanoia (Lk,24:44-47) 

-Phil.2:10-16/ Col.2:10-11/ Lk.8:15/ Mk.6:12

 "SIN NO MORE" <-- Blog

* Upon repentance/confession unto YHVH sin is washed away and DoesN't Exsist :) To bring it back up is to doubt the promises of Yah. (Is.43:25/ Heb.8:12; 10:17/ 1 Jn. 1:9/ 2 Pet. 3:9/ Ps.51 !) God wants your LOVE and is worthy of Praise Prov.21:3, 1 Sam.15:22, Hos.6:6, Rev.4:11, Col.3:14, 1 Cor.13, 1 Pet.4:8, *Deut.6:5 & Mk 12:30 Choose THIS DAY whom ye will serve Josh 24:15 (Deut.11:26; 30:19) 

>H12<-

We arent saved by our works we are Saved by the Atonements provided by G-D all relative to the life /blood of Adon Moshiach ( Lord Moshiach, Rav Yeshoshua) In his Shem (righteousness/ Melchizedek) we fulfill Torah as we return to HaShem. Those in covenant Naturally bare fruits. Sin is not Ok. If you sin as a believer you have and advocate with the Father. Simply repent (return). 

 

[William H.]

So the question arises: What if I am in covenant and fall short and commit a sin then immediately die before confessing that sin.

Matt.6:24 (Lk.16:13)

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Here we are told you cant serve two masters. G-d is the heart knower. So if you have come to know G-d and recieved Grace then naturally He knows your heart is inclined unto him. Just as i dont have to spacifically mention every sin i ever commited i can simpley embrace G-d in faith and repent which means return and all my sins are washed away. We are also told that love covers a multitude of sins. Keep G-d first (the greatest commandment). He said in relation to two masters you will Love the one and hate the other!

If personally Feel this is also how those that do and teach to break Torah (sin) can still make it to the kingdom even though they have sin and will be "counted least in the kingdom". They truely embrace G-d (yet are stuck in the milk) and just babes in Christ they truely Love G-d and have atonement.

[William H.]

2 Peter 2:20-22

For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit (Proverbs 26:11) again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Heb.10:38-39 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

[William H.]

***** Eze.33:7-16 ***** So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live (2 Pet.3:9): turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

Ps.32:1-2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.(Rom.4:8)

Heb.10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (compare to Heb 6)

(2 Cor.13:5)

Moshe (Moses) said one is coming and we should harken (hear and do) unto him. In Zechariah we are told the name of Yeshoshua (Joshua, Yeshua, “Jesus” ) is a sign of another to come concerning Joshua’s name and he and Moshiach share the Same name! The King of Righteiusness has shown us The Way and called us to return to that path and always gave Glory to G-D with all his being. 1Love. Choose LIFE and Blessings This day. 

[William H.]

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

[His_Will]

Matt.14:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mk.1:15 (Yeshua taught of repentance.)

 Those who are in covenant know they are in covenant (Lk.1:27, 1 Jn.5:13). 

Salvation saved/ mindful change 

[William H.]

The lukewarm (those who are good as long as they dont have to give up anything they lust for) love the feel good message. Many claim to be Christains but hate the mention of discipline, and taking up ones cross (1 Jn.2:19). Christ did his part. Do we bare fruits. Saved by Grace through faith. Faith without works is dead.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

[His_Will]

2 Cor.13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Phil.2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
1 Cor.9:27 But I keep under (discipline) my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway (disqualified/ outcast)./ Jn 17:23/1 Cor.11:28/
