The gospel of repent and believe is quite old..
Mark 1:14-15
Joshua Begins His Galilean Ministry
14 Now after John was put in prison, Joshua came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom[a] of God, 15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT, AND BELIEVE in the good news.
Mathew 4:17 From that time Joshua began to preach, saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand
I am glad you used Hebrews as a text because I will continue to fully state that verse.
Hebrews 10:14-31
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Joshua,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we SIN WILLFULLY after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
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?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Brother, repentance is not a bad word..
Paul uses it again in Acts 20:21 21 - I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our sovereign Joshua.
The laws are in our hearts and minds now... not on some ledger to keep account as it was back then..and certainly not done away with..(Our Savior bound a couple while He walked with us).
The Day of Atonement was fulfilled when our Sovereign was dedicated on that day as a babe and most certainly as the spotless lamb...
The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin as believers- King James 2000 Bible
And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: John 16:8
And we are warned not to grieve the Holy Spirit
King James 2000 Bible
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30
Go and sin no more is as much a commandment as love your neighbor as yourself...and it isn’t a condemnation as you appear to make it..
He forgives us like He did the adulteress woman when she was sentenced to death..
Sin has condemned us to die.. Our Savior gives us life free from sin.. we are no longer slaves to the sinful nature..
What is wrong with repentance? Holy spirit leads us to it... we cannot know how Holy He is without knowing how sinful we are and what our sins did...
And just like the adulteress who He did not condemn.. He simply says, Go and sin no more..
Conviction of sin is a holy spirit work in every believer.repentance is an understanding of what our sin cost and repentance should lead to a mind, heart and life transformation...
My sin is an abomination in the eyes of our Holy Heavenly Father.. And I am not able to have fellowship with Him, without the Messiah as my Savior.... I don’t know that unless the Holy Spirit has convicted me of my sin...
No judge will convict you of lust in this country, but the Messiah came down here and tightened up that ‘law’ ( He loosened the Sabbath while He as here)
Repentance is I now know that I am a sinner and I have been convicted and sentenced... I have been given a free gift, undeserved, that says someone has paid the debt I owe and I am wiped clean.. I have the promise of eternal life and can fulfill my only purpose to exist - To have eternal fellowship with my Creator, which was lost by Adam..another promise is I now have a helper, who will live in me and guide me and comfort me and help me to live a life as a holy, living sacrifice, in service to my new Master and not my old master...
I am now no longer a slave to the sin, because I have been redeemed and now a bondservant to the Messiah who purchased me..
Why on earth, would I want to live in wilfull sin after knowing what I have been freed from?
I am freed from Egypt and have gone into the promised land.. forever to be in fellowship with my Heavenly Father.
That doesn’t happen without repentance...I am not going to be a perfect, sinless man but grace again, isn’t license-now knowing what my sin cost, to continue to have the same mind, heart, life I had after being ‘convicted’ of my sin in this life, is not repentance...
I have received a promise to get what Adam lost and what my sin caused.. eternal separation from our Creator to do what He made us for- Fellowship with Him..
So I do my best to go and sin no more..
And getting back to America, where this all started... there is no mind, heart, and life transformation of conviction that what it is doing is against the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...
Turn to our Heavenly Father in repentance AND faith in the Sovereign Joshua the Messiah ....
Ninevah we could be...
First, he has to bring us to Christ. THAT and THAT ALONE is the purpose of the law - to show you that you can't keep the law and that you need Christ (Gal 3:23-24). Once you've come to Christ, the law has served it purpose. The law can take you no further than to show you your lack and bring you to Christ. So before you came to Christ you were under the law but after you come to Christ you are no longer under the law (Rom 6:14; 7:4,6).
Once you are in Christ you have been delivered from the law and are dead to the law(Rom 7:4,6; Gal 2:9). The law taught you all it could teach you. Now that you are in Christ what teaches you? Grace teaches you (Titus 2:11-13). The same grace of the new covenant that washes your sins continually by the blood of Christ because of his one, eternal sacrifice (Heb 10:12) teaches us and delivers us from sin (Rom 6:14). That is truly the goodness of God that continually leads us to learn more about Christ and change our minds about things every day.
So the law is a schoolmaster to teach us to come to Christ and grace teaches how to live in reliance and trust in Christ every day. That is how God leads us to repentance. Now we are under grace, free of all condemnation regardless of what we do because we are under the new covenant whereby he no longer remembers any of our sins and iniquities because of His Son's one, perfect, and eternal sacrifice. Grace is not a license to sin but a license FROM sin (Rom 6:14) and you are righteous AS A GIFT (Rom 5:17), not because of what you do but because of what he did (Rom 4:6; Titus 3:5).
The law is for babies and immature children. When children come to your house, you have to tell them who need to be told "don't touch this" or "don't play in the street." But you don't say that to adults that come to you house. In the same way, scripture says that it is the immature that are under the law (Gal 4:1-3). Also if you are under the law, you are under the curse (Gal 3:10) but Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 3:13).
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (Gal 5:1).
