Repentance, Remission, and Real Life


Luke 24:47-49. 
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
Acts 1:8. "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Follow Jesus, become a fisher of men.  By His Spirit living in us, we have the ability to bear true and effective witness to the message of repentance to have our sins taken away by His suffering, death, and resurrection.  So His will is simply to go to all the world with this good news of all He has done! The apostles had to wait after Jesus ascended to heaven before they had Him as Spirit living in them; we by our rebirth have Him without the wait - so let us go and tell without waiting, for we know repentance, remission of sin, and real life of abundance in Christ living within us!
