Christians Believe And Repent

Matthew 21:32. Repentance is a key belief of Christians. The Bible teaches about God's righteousness and of His love. Though God loves us He is a righteous God. He cannot be in the presence of our sin because of His righteousness. Only through Jesus and our repentance can we achieve righteousness and be in fellowship with God. We cannot reconcile ourselves back to God by becoming righteous by our own works. We cannot work our way into Heaven and God's good grace. We must first understand and acknowledge our sins and imperfections as a first step of repentance and reconciliation to God. We must repent and acknowledge to God that we can only be purged of our sins by accepting Jesus Christ's salvation. Only through Jesus and God's grace can we become righteous and be in fellowship with God (Matthew 21:32, “For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.”).
