Repent or perish

 by David Long

Read Luke 13:3, 5; Acts 17:30. God commands repentance. But what is repentance? Most people think it is just being sorry for your sins but being sorry is not repentance. Repentance is a change of mind that leads to a change of life or actions. You may be sorry for what you've done but if you haven't changed then you haven't repented. "But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father?..." (Matt. 21:28-31).
