- If you look around in the church or on Christian social media, there seems to be a lot of confusion about repentance. What exactly is it, biblically? In this episode, Jon and Justin talk about repentance from various places in Scripture. And they consider repentance at conversion and the ongoing repentance that characterizes the Christian life.
Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin discuss how none of us can adequately repent, how repentance is not penance, as well the fact that the Christian life is one of ongoing repentance.

I was taught you must repent and believe in order to be saved. So I'm blown away actually. I appreciate your ministry. There is a lot of teaching that subtlety is leading people like me down the wrong path. No wonder I'm frustrated! But no longer. Thanks
Thank you!
This clears up so much confusion I've had - I feel like the free grace crowd (sometimes) want to reduce repentance to intellectual assent, and the Lordship crowd want to maximize repentance to a work or a cause for lack of assurance. This helps me explain it to my Bible study ladies. I also have been feeling pretty grieved by some sin God convicted me of, and this reminds me to rejoice in God's grace for giving me repentance and rest in Christ's cleansing of my sin.
repentance is believing something different the you once believed ,it was once believed you had to follow the law to be righteous ,now it is to believe that god has done that for you
God bless you two!
even john the baptist said bring fruits worthy of repentance,separating the two
I have needed to hear this, was just talking with a sister in Christ about this, this week, in how we reconcile "repent and believe" that is through the gospels - to repentance being a fruit of regeneration, so this is much needed and explained thoroughly for me to understand! So I am glad I saw this!
Thanks for sharing!
Repentance is a resolve to follow Jesus. Repentance is not a work, it is a mindset. There is no degree of repentance. While you grow in faith, you don’t grow in repentance.
Really enjoying your guys stuff. Interesting to see your guys points on lordship salvation which in my opinion is a modern day works based salvation and righteousness. To me it makes Christianity no different than other religions. Working our way to where we are accepted. Which is the form of Christianity that was previously pushed on me and caused my very severe ocd scrupulosity to cause years to absolute torment. It’s still a struggle at times but I’m pushing through.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh! I'm in the same boat Just left a small group who were forcing this doctrine on me
I also have severe scrupulous ocd. Trying to work through it
Thank you brethren for this important subject.
Lord turn us , and we shall be turned. Salvation is that of grace , and grace alone. All else is the fruit thereof. Thank God for His grace.
I will be listening to this message once again.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Some good and graceful points made here ..! Great job guys God bless you and your ministry..!
i love your teachings,i do have a criticism,on more than one occasion i have heard you reference the holy spirit as it,not him,this time you said itis a triune god not he is a triune god love you guys
Good stuff
Hey I just listen to your episode on repentance I’m an confessional guy who also holds to the 1689 , how do you reconcile repentance being a change of mind and therefore results in an change off action with our confession in chapter 15:3 seems define repentance different , Btw I agree with your definition of repentance
the new covenant came on the day of pentecost.jeremiah prophesied the new covenant of god writing his laws on our hearts ,this is the indwelling of the holy spirit to those that believe that jesus is the christ,the son of god a sacrifice for the sins of all who believe
Can you show me in the Bible where it says to repent from sin. Non-believers are the ones who need to repent and follow Jesus.
The letters are good examples of this. They are primarily letters encouraging the church of their security in Christ but also contain things that we are supposed to put off having put on the new.
The call for the believer to repent of sin is very present in the new testament but is definitely different from the call for a non-believer to repent. Here is an example as you requested.
Colssians 3:5
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
The "therefore..." here is in response to the preeminence of Christ and salvation of the believers being written to that Paul spent the previous chapters explaining.

Jesus is God in the flesh. We are all sinners, so we deserve the punishment for sin, which is the wrath of God. However, Jesus loves sinners, even though they sinned against Him. Jesus suffered the punishment for sin so that sinners do not have to. He did this by suffering and dying on a cross. He rose again from the dead on the third day.
Any sinner who fully trusts Jesus to save him or her is saved. That sinner has all of his or her sins forgiven. That sinner will never lose his or her salvation. That sinner will not go to hell. That sinner has eternal life.
It seems “repentance” is too often referencing “sins”. I believe we repent from “sin”, which to me is what scripture calls our Adamic nature. Salvation is by faith alone but we are repenting from a humanistic pathway, whether it is trying to “be a good person” OR it could be ignoring the Creator. Either way, the repentance unto salvation is rejecting our natural walk and accepting on faith that our salvation has been given as a gift. The “repentance” is not from lust or lying or pride. It is from whatever sinful belief or walk we had before and into perfect redemption in Christ. THAT type of repentance IS necessary to become a Christian.
We all had our own complex ways of thinking before we heard the gospel. That road is very broad & could entail thousands of different beliefs. The best way to deal with all of those various false beliefs is to simply cut them all off & hear only the gospel & lean entirely on the gospel. This is called “the simplicity that is in Christ.” Repent is simply a way of saying to stop leaning on your own understanding & lean on the understanding of God’s gospel.
Repent from sin is never mentioned in the bible. Repent means changing your mind. If you're a non-believer you need to repent and turn to Jesus because that's the only way to the Father. If you're a believer all your sins are forgiven, and you belong to Jesus, and he won't let you go.
Repentance is a resolve or a firm decision to follow Jesus. Struggling with sin is a fruit of repentance. There is no degree of repentance, either you follow Him or you do not. Don’t put your hand to the plough and look back.

WHY WON'T SOMEONE JUST STATE WHAT THE OBVIOUS IS HERE?
Because it is not politically "correct" or "expedient".
Or "prudent". Or even, somehow (?) "kind".
And one will be declared "anti-semitic", the MOST actually inaccurate, incorrect. and, assuredly, INCONVENIENT/
"in-expedient" TRUTH anyone could possibly dare to state.
Even tho' MOSES himself foretold it in his day.
