Repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in the Name of Jesus to all nations

 “He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” (Luke 24:46-48 NIV)

Repentance (to turn – reverse direction)

The word repent means to turn (or return) and to reverse direction - a complete reversal of ones attitude and values, i. e. a turning away from evil to good, from sin to God. In the New Testament, the key term for repentance is metanoia - It has two usual senses: a "change of mind" and "regret/remorse." True repentance leads a person to say, "I have sinned" and prove it with a 180-degree change of their direction. Repentance requires true brokenness.

Turn from Idols to the living and true God
