Peace to my dear family, brothers and sisters! Amen.
Let’s open our Bibles to Luke chapter 23 verse 41 and read together: We deserve it, for our punishment is worthy of our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.
Today we will study, fellowship, and share together "repentance" No. Four Speak and offer a prayer: Dear Abba Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Lord! The virtuous woman [the church] sends out workers through the word of truth, which is written and spoken by her hands, the gospel of our salvation. Food is transported from the sky from afar and supplied to us at the right time to make our spiritual life richer! Amen. May the Lord Jesus continue to illuminate our spiritual eyes and open our minds to understand the Bible so that we can hear and see spiritual truths. Understand that "a heart of repentance" means that I was crucified with Christ, because what we suffer is worthy of what we do! Amen .
The above prayers, thanks, and blessings! I ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
Crucified with Christ, worthy of repentance
(1) Crucified with Jesus, the criminal’s repentance
Let’s study Luke chapter 23 verses 39-41 and read them together: One of the two criminals who were crucified together laughed at him and said, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” The other one responded and rebuked him. He said: " Since you are under the same punishment, aren’t you afraid of God? We should, Because what we receive is worthy of what we do , but this person has never done a bad thing. "
Note: The two criminals who were crucified with Jesus. "Prisoners" refer to people who can commit sins. They are called criminals or "sinners" → because the wages of sin is death, so the criminal's heart is filled with the fullness of his mouth. Just say it → we should, because what we by with what we Do of" proportionate "→This is what it means to be crucified with Jesus→" A heart worthy of repentance ".This is" true repentance ".→ "Believe in the Gospel" and be saved →The prisoner said: "Jesus, when your kingdom comes, please remember me!" Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise . "Reference-Luke 23 verses 42-43.
Another prisoner laughed at Jesus and said, "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!". Therefore, those who do not believe that Jesus is the savior cannot obtain God’s salvation → God’s eternal kingdom is “Paradise” and → those who do not believe that Jesus is the Christ and the savior will have no share in heaven.
Alert:
Since you believe in Jesus as the Christ and Savior, He died on the cross for our sins → 1 Save you from sin, do you believe it? 2 Do you believe that you are freed from the law and the curse of the law? and buried, 3 Do you believe that you have put off the old man and the sinful behavior of the old man? →Because the old man was crucified with Christ, the body of sin has been destroyed. 4 Resurrection on the third day ~ reborn us! Amen! Do you believe it or not? If you don’t believe any of the above? Please ask your conscience, why do you believe in Jesus? →What is the difference between this and the criminal who mocked Jesus as the Christ? You say it! Right?
Therefore, a heart of repentance is proportional, and so is faith. → You must bear fruit in keeping with repentance. Don’t say that I just need to believe in Jesus, but don’t believe in him to save you. -- 1 free from sin, 2 Freed from the law and its curse, 3 Put off the old man and his old ways. Otherwise how can you be resurrected with Christ [ rebirth ]Woolen cloth? Have you seen the moon yet? Reference-Matthew 3 verse 8
As the apostle Paul says in his epistle: If we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection, knowing that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin may be Annihilation, that we may no longer be slaves to sin; for those who have died are freed from sin. If we die with Christ, we believe that we will live with him. → I have been crucified with Christ, It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me ; And the life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Reference-Galatians 2:20 and Romans 6:5-8.
OK! Today I would like to share my fellowship with you all. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be always with you all! Amen
