BIBLICAL REPENTANCE AND SALVATION.

John 16 v 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

The Comforter also referred to as the Spirit of truth in John 16 v 13 is
quite clearly the Holy Spirit. To reject Jesus and his atonement for
salvation is a sin that cannot be forgiven. Jesus rose from the dead
and ascended into Heaven because he alone lived a perfect, righteous,
sinless life. To the natural man it is not clear who the prince of this
world is. A look at Ephesians 2 v 2 and 2 Corinthians 4 v 4 will help
us clearly identify him.

Acts 20 v 20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

 A repentance toward God is important accompanied with faith towards
our Lord Jesus Christ. The Greek mind set of most the educated west
find the gospel foolishness and seek after wisdom of man. Plato,
Aristotle, Socrates to name a few.
1 Corinthians 1 v 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

 The wisdom of God is greater than the wisdom of this world. It takes a
biblical repentance towards God to be saved. This means a change of
mind and to believe the gospel. Read 1 Corinthians 15 v 1 - 4 and
 Romans 10 v 9 - 10 in the word of God.
Colossians 1 v  21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Romans 5 v 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

 Once we believe the alienation we once felt disappears along with the
feelings of enmity we had towards God.
Romans 5 v 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:


Genesis 6 v 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Careful study of scripture will Show God repenting is God changing
direction in his dealing with man on issues that were flexible to start
with. Over the dispensations God has changed his dealings with man
at various times.

DANIEL 12

Daniel 12 v  1  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation  even  to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame  and  everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,  even  to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. 6 And  one  said to the man clothed in linen, which  was  upon the

HERE IS A SLIGHTLY LONGER AND AMENDED VERSION OF MY TESTIMONY.

Amriks Testimony From childhood I followed the Sikh traditions of my family, which I was expected to pass on to my children. I had no joy and found no comfort in this religion, and yet I had nothing else as I wandered desperately through life wondering what was the point of it all? I had a void and nothing could fill it and I desperately searched for the meaning to life. I turned to yoga and meditation and had mystical experiences, but they didn't change me for the better, they did not give me the peace and understanding I was looking for.  I started visiting my local library looking for knowledge; I read philosophy, history, autobiographies and yet I was none the wiser concerning the deeper issues of life and salvation. Then one day I was in my local library looking at books on alternative medicines and I turned from that section and found myself facing the Holy Bible. I reached out to take hold of it and thoughts came rushing to my mind, this is not for me I have my reli

Passover- Jewish/Easter-Pagan.

Passover- Jewish/Easter-Pagan. Exodus 12 v 1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2  This month  shall be  unto you the beginning of months: it  shall be  the first month of the year to you. 3  Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth  day  of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of  their  fathers, a lamb for an house: 4  And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take  it  according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take  it  out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6  And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7  And they shall take of the blood, and strike  it  on the two side
