Acts 20:26-27 KJV
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

James 2:24 KJV

Repentance is a COMMAND, not a gift.

Acts 17:30 KJV

“How tragic it is when people think they do God a great service by coming to church and participating in the worship service without repenting of their sins!”

Look at the first word in the following verses:

“REPENT ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you” (Acts 3:19-20 KJV).

Repent—that little word may never be spoken from many pulpits; however, whether or not it is spoken, it is still required. Sin must be repented in order for healing to come.

Repent—“repent, metanoeo….: From meta, “after,” and noeo, “to think.”
Repentance is a decision that results in a change of mind, which in turn leads to a change of purpose and action.”
