ACTS 26:20
"ALL MUST REPENT of their sins and turn to God- and prove they have changed by the good things that they do."
Are there any absolutes in this world? Many humanists try to tell us that all things are relative. If all things are anything, is that not an absolute? Why is it that non believer's want there to be no absolutes? If there are no absolutes, then there is no God. One thing we know for sure, you will absolutely die and your life on earth will come to an end. Do you know of any exceptions?
Jesus Christ died on the cross, after suffering, and He was the first to rise from the dead. This was God's way of announcing His plan and light to Jews and Gentiles alike. What was the message of Jesus?
ALL MUST REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND TURN TO GOD. We must prove that we are then changed and this is shown by the good things that we do. So here is the truth for today; Everyone must repent of their sins and turn to God. That means all of us, no exceptions and this is an absolute. If you have not turned from your sinful path and way of life and turned around to walk in the Lord's path, you have not repented. Are you living a life consistent and worthy of repentance? What kind of deeds are you performing, if you say you have come to the Lord?
You have heard the expression, "talk is cheap". This means that it is easy to say something but it is much more difficult to actually do what you say. Many have understood that it is more important to be a doer of the Word, than just a hearer of the Word. Thus this scripture is trying to reveal to us that we actually prove that we have repented and come to the Lord by our actions, the things and deeds that we do. True Repentance bears fruit, and everyone will take notice of the new person you have become. Who then must repent and turn to God? All of us if we hope to be a part of God's kingdom. How will we know if we truly have repented? You will have changed from a sinful man to one who does good deeds and your life will be worthy.
