Love And Repentance

Acts 3:19 – 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;

Luke 13:3 – I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Acts 2:38 – Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Have you ever heard that Jesus taught love and acceptance? That he accepted people for their sins? Well, Jesus did teach love, but he never told us to accept sin. Yea, he talked to the woman at the well but then told her to sin no more. He never said I forgive you, and it’s okay to keep doing what you are doing. He never told the Pharisees that they could keep using the scriptures how they saw fit. He didn’t tell the people in the temple that he knew what they were doing was wrong, that they could keep selling and trading in the temple. No, he whipped them out. Jesus never preached acceptance. He preached repentance. He preached to turn away from your sin and live for him. He told us to pick up our cross and sin no more. Stop saying Jesus taught love and acceptance. Instead, teach he taught Love and Repentance.
