So what does the word repent mean?
Well, it actually is pretty simple.
It just means to change your mind.
Now, God actually repents more than anybody
in the King James Bible,
which is I believe to be 36 times.
So if repent meant to turn from sin,
then what sin did God need to turn from?
Zero, none, he's perfect.
He is without sin.
He just changed his mind about something.
Now, as far as salvation,
Hebrews chapter six verse one actually tells us exactly
what we are repenting of.
It says this, therefore leaving the principles
of the doctrine of Christ,
let us go on under perfection,
not laying again the foundation of repentance from what?
Dead works and faith toward God.
So you're repenting of believing and your dead works,
which is I'm a good person.
I do good things.
I'm going to heaven.
No, and now you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and you're saved.
