Repentance from dead works

Jesus Christ calls people to believe in Him (Matthew 4:17) and to repent from their old way of life, again when they have fallen away from Him, repent and amend their way (Revelation 2:5; 2:16; 2:21; 3:3; 3:19). In a nutshell, repentance involves these three things: Recognition of our sin, renunciation of our sin and returning to God. Ultimately, when we repent, we are inviting Jesus to have fellowship with us. After urging Christians to "be earnest and repent," Jesus said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me" (Revelation 3:19-20).The immeasurable joy of having intimate fellowship with God is what Jesus won for us through His death and resurrection, so that we "may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). It certainly beats the deceptive and fleeting "joy" of any kind of sin by any measure!Eternity doesn't start when we go to heaven. It starts right now with having the fullness of life with God, and repentance allows us to have that. This book explores things related to repentance to a certain detail.
