INTRO: Our study has been that of unconditional forgiveness. It is my strong conviction that in order to be forgiven, repentance must take place. Forgiveness that is not based on repentance is not forgiveness in the true sense of the word.
The doctrine of conversion in the Bible contains within it two doctrines. These are repentance and faith. These are the only two things set out in Scripture for man to be saved. I mentioned to you last message that there are those who see repentance and faith as synonyms, and thus there is only one requirement to be saved, and that is faith. However, we showed that repentance and faith are not synonyms. What happens to people who believe but do not repent? In Luke 13 Jesus said that those who do not repent will perish. And in Luke 24:47 He said that repentance should be preached to all nations.
But, there is a doctrine that goes along with repentance that is also very important. I was also amazed at the silence of other preachers and Christian theologians on that subject. It is this matter I want to share in this message.
