From then on Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near."
Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance,
But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
and saying: "The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in the Gospel."
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!
I have not come to call righteous people to repentance, just sinners."
So Peter said to them: "Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ,. Notice that Peter promises forgiveness of sin and the gift of the Holy Spirit to any who enter into that commitment. for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Repent therefore, and turn around, so that your sins may be erased, in order that times of refreshing may come from the Lord’s face
Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,
A graça do arrependimento
Os que eu amo, eu repreendo e disciplino. Arrepende-te! Deus não quer que nenhum se perca — mas que todos cheguem ao arrependimento.
Confissão e restauração
Se confessarmos, Ele é fiel e justo. Há alegria no céu por um pecador que se arrepende — o arrependimento abre o caminho da vida.
I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
