Repent

1 John 1: 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psalms 103: 11. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Hebrews 8: 12. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

God has promised to forgive our sins and to not only forgive them but to remove them far from us. Its as if they were never there and our hearts and souls are cleansed of unrighteousness, and he forgets about them.

Once you have repented of your sins, you can be assured that God has forgiven you, no matter how great or how small that sin was. Whether you did drugs, murdered or robbed the bank, God can and will forgive you of your sins, all you have to do is confess them directly to God in prayer. Ask God to forgive you and know without a doubt that he will forgive you. Then don’t even think about them.

Repentance is NOT salvation, it’s the first step. After you repent you need to be baptized in the NAME of Jesus Christ (the only bible way) and receive the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.

If you have never repented, today is your day to repent.
