Scripture Text: Luke 3:7-9

John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”


Repentance means having a change of heart or feeling bad about things you did in the past. It is turning around and going the other way to show that you are sorry for your sin. It includes admitting wrongdoings from the past and deciding not to do them again. Repentance also means to turn away from sin, disobedience, or revolt and turn back to God.

Have you turned to the positive? If so, have you really changed your mind? Turning away from wrongdoing and dead works is what it means to repent. With the help of the Holy Spirit, a mind that has truly changed will bear some fruit. Love, hope, self-control, patience, and so on are some of these fruits. Men should pray and not give up. A person who wants to change prays always, whether it's the right time or not.

You no longer have to cheat or lie to people with whom you do business. You have to be honest, whether they are Christians or not. As the Spirit of God comes over you, righteousness, joy, and peace are also fruits of repentance. Repentance shows itself in ways like being kind and gentle. Do you always tell the truth, or do you sometimes lie? Today, you have to do a U-turn. Today, walk in love and decide to let your gifts show so they can change lives and the world. People will know you have changed based on what you do now.

Without being truly sorry, there is no good fruit in you and may be hewned by your ingenuine repentance. True repentance is the way to become holy. When you decide to follow Jesus, you must also decide that you will always have a repentant heart. God makes us holy, and the benefits of true repentance are the reward we get here on earth. Restitution must also be done to complete a true repentance.

God bless you!

If you would like to give your life to Christ just say this short prayer:

"Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You now, come into my life, take contol of my life and change my world. I say bye-bye to the devil, i enter into the Kingdom of Light. Thank You Lord Jesus, in Jesus' name I pray, amen!
