The consequences of sin is death. Jesus paid the price (His death for our death) for our sins and in order to obtain salvation we must do our part and RECEIVE it.
As you know, many don’t believe they need a Savior - and God doesn’t force salvation on anyone - ONE MUST believe what Jesus did and RECEIVE what He did and repenting is what we do once we accept Jesus as Savior with a thankful heart.
What Jesus did was supernatural - what makes you think your ‘natural’ repenting can do anything supernatural? What if you forget any of your sins - are your saying you remember ALL your sins from the beginning? What if you sin and come across an unfortunate, untimely accident and you didn’t confess it? YOU have NO Savior - since you don’t believe His Blood washed them away.
We repent BECAUSE of what HE did for us! One can repent all day long but if one doesn’t believe that Jesus washed your sins away - it fruitless. The GREATEST sin is NOT believing that Jesus died for us. How do you repent on that one?
We are responsible for ourselves and our own actions. Jesus told us to repent and keep G-d's commandments. He told us what to DO.
Matthew 3
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 3:
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
God (YHWH) is my Savior, not Jesus. I've already posted about the two differing entities and two differing wills in the Garden of Gethsemane. They are NOT one in the same. That is obvious.
