About Repentance!

" For shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance. Luke 15:7"

It could be described in two words; we would use the words "turning around." Turning around from what? We ask. The answer can be given in one word - "sin"." The Bible teaches, as we have already seen, that sin is a transgression of the law. Sin is the rejection of all authority and the denial of all obligations to God. Sin is that evil principle which came into the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve were tempted and fell. Ever since the disaster in Eden this evil poison has affected all men so that "all have sinned," and there is none righteous, no, not one." Sin has destroyed our relationship with God, and as a consequence it has disturbed our relationship with each other, and even with ourselves.
