Preaching Repentance - Mark 1:15

Preaching Repentance - Mark 1:15

Mark 1:15 "...and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel."

Repent? Godly sorrow works repentance (2 Cor. 7:10). Godly sorrow is the remorse one has when he realizes he hs sinned against the Holy and Righteous God. His sorrow is not just that ‘he got caught’, but that he did wrong. Such remorse is at the heart of our reconciliation with God.

John the Baptist: Mark 1:4

The Great Commission: Luke 24:46-47

The 1st gospel sermon: Acts 2:38-39

Paul’s   Acts 17:30

Peter’s claim about God: 2 Peter 3:10

Such is a condition of starting our reconciled relationship with God. Such is also a condition of our continued relationship with God (cp. Acts 8:20-23 and the sin of Simon).
