*REPENTANCE*
Text: Matthew 3: 1 - 3
We have all heard the repentance message. The one who ignores it does so at his own peril. John the Baptist began his ministry with the message calling for repentance ..... The wise among his listeners took the right step and eventually became believers in the way ( Acts 19: 1 - 5 ).
The message of salvation carries a great responsibility for the hearer - he does not just hear and remain at that level, he must also do something about the message he hears - he must believe, repent of his sins, confess Christ as redeemer and be baptized by immersion, thereby demonstrating his obedience to Christ and the acceptance to have his sins buried, just as Christ died, was buried and resurrected, giving us salvation in these three phases of his ministry of redemption.
God's word has been brought this day to complete your life, know also that your life was made to receive the Word. Not only to receive it but, to transform you to be the kind of person that God desires you to be. Today is the day of repentance. We cannot continue in sin and wish that the grace of God abound.
*Prayer*: Father Lord, may your words guide me to appropriate action and behaviour that glorifies your name, Amen.
*Evening Reading* : Luke 15: 10
