This preaching is a call
back to the original plan of God. This is because God is merciful and does not want anyone to
perish. Through the years, men chosen by God have preached the message of
repentance to both the old and young in
the old and new testaments.
In genuine repentance,
sin must be renounced, 1 John 3:15. God
demands absolute renunciation of sin without compromise. It is the knowledge of
God's love that brings man to repentance, John 3:16, John 14:15. We only show
our love for God when we obey his word. Repentance is a complete change of
man's mind towards sin.
Some of the preachers of repentance are Jonah who
preached to the people of Nineveh, Jonah 3:1-10; Prophet Ezekiel, Ezek.
18:1-30, John the Baptist, Matt. 3:2, Peter
and Paul among other disciples, Acts 2:38, Jesus Christ Lk. 13:3-5, etc.
The message of repentance is still on today. It is
preached in churches, media, Internets, society and every- where. Test all
spirits and know which is of God. We love God because he first loved us, Rom.
5:8, 1 John 4:19.
