Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BY REV. A. L. PRICE, Pastor, Jrnkinsburg Baptist Church REPENTANCE Luke 13:1-5 “The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.” Yet God is ev erywhere. He is big enough to fill the universe and small enough to live in the heart of a saved person. Those who seek God can find Him. “When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found of you.” Jeremiah 29:13,- 14. Men try to find God in dif ferent ways. The savage may in flict punishment upon himself try ing to find favor in the eyes of his gods. The pagan may bow down before idols which are dead. Civilized people go to church but yet come away with a hungry heart. This is because they had no intimate touch with Christ. Re pentance is not a form of rit uals but involves a personal en counter with Jesus Christ. Re pentance is the first step toward God and no man reaches God un til he takes that first step. Re- pentance and faith are insepar able graces. If a person really and truly repents of sin he will exer cise faith in Christ. If he exer cises faith in Jesus Christ, it is evidence that he has first re pented of sin. Jesus had many excuse makers in His day just as we find today. They found ex cuses for not following Him in that day and they find excuses for not following Him in this day. Yet the Bible states unless a per son repents he will surely perish. God and heaven and eternal life cannot belong to someone who has not repented. Repentance is a Biblical doc trine. All the way back to the prophets we find the doctrine of repentance. Today people are call ed on to repent. This is not pleas ant to the natural man for it in volves forsaking of sin. This will cause many to rebel when con fronted with giving up a pet sin dear to their heart. Repentance is not the fear of God. Some cry out to God for forgiveness when on the deathbed and when they recover go right hack to their old sin. This is not repentance but the fear of God. “Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart.” Hebrews 4:7. A per son could weep rivers of tears, clothe themselves in sack cloth and ashes, yet a simple feeling of sorrow over sin is not all of repentance. Repentance is not merely con viction of sin. People may go to church and come under deep con viction. The Holy Spirit may con vict them through sermon or song and if nothing is done about it, repentance does not follow. It is not merely a profession of Christ with the lips. It goes deeper than that and changes the whole heart and life. A mere profession of re ligion which does not include a turning away from sin and trust ing the Saviour is not repentance. It is more than merely being bap tized and joining the church. It is more than n religious form. It is not being whitewashed in baptism but being washed white in the blood of the Lamb. Repentance is a complete change of heart and life. It is a turning from sin to the Saviour. Coming over to God's side through His Son and taking His side against sin.

B. Garland have just returned from a visit with I)r. and Mrs. William J. Garland, Betsy and John, in Sewanee, Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Couch and family, Sue Morris, Laney and Lisa, Lorell Washington, Patty and Bruce went to Six Flags Over Georgia Monday and had a very enjoyable day. Among those from Jackson at tending the Georgia Municipal Convention recently at Jekyll Island were Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Pall, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Daniel Jr., Mr. and Mrs. John L. Cole man, and Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Powell. Christ, the church und eternal life can find himself with his face toward God, Christ, the church and heaven by taking two steps, repentance and faith. If we want Jesus more than any thing ehe in this world we can have Him for repentance brings us into a right relationship with Christ. Then rejoicing in our heart follows when we have that peace that passes all understand ing. To go anywhere you must take the first step. To get to God you must take the first step and that, my friends, is repent ance.
