God's Command to Repent - Ryan Thompson

  Driving home from work tomorrow you witness a serious car accident. Approaching the scene, you identify a passenger thrown from the vehicle who is unconscious, lying face first on the concrete, and bleeding profusely. Literally, this person's life is hanging in the balance, with only minutes or seconds to live.  Question, what do they have urgent need of? IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!  Spiritually, this is the predicament we're all in with only moments to spare! "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away" James 4:14. 

   As judged, condemned, hell bound sinners; we stand in dire need of the Saviour's mercy and redeeming grace! "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" Ephesians 1:7.  Jesus Christ alone provides the remedy for the curse of man's sin. What key unlocks the outpouring of His saving grace upon the souls of men? REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST!  "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" Luke 5:32.

   Friend, this is the most critical and important need you will ever have. It surpasses the severity and urgency of the previous illustration. Yes, it is that important! As you read this book, please allow the Lord to reveal if true, soul saving repentance, has occurred inside your heart, and respond appropriately.
