你们若不悔改
敬畏耶和华心存谦卑，就得富有、尊荣、生命为赏赐（箴言22:4）
平安弟兄姊妹们！真正谦卑的基督徒要认定四件事：①他们不是上帝；②他们不能认为、更不能吩咐上帝什么可以做、什么不可以做；③上帝是至高无上的；④我们应该完完全全地服从上帝（部分服从就是犯罪）。当我们以完全地顺服、谦卑和感恩来侍奉我们的造物主时，祂会以超乎我们想象的方式来祝福我们。
当我们认罪并且悔改时，主耶稣会宽恕我们的罪，但同时祂也警告我们：“不要再犯罪，恐怕你遭遇的更加利害”（约翰福音5:14）。主耶稣不想让我们继续再悖逆上帝，所以祂说：“去吧，从此不要再犯罪了”（约翰福音8:11）。
你仍旧活在罪恶里（违背上帝就是犯罪）吗？主耶稣告诉我们，也告诉凡自称基督徒的人（不是耶稣基督真正的跟从者）：“我告诉你们，不是的（假道说：你们受洗后继续犯罪也能进入天国），你们若不悔改都要如此灭亡”（路加福音13:3）。悔改，是主耶稣和施洗约翰的首要命令（马太福音4:17）。
悔改，不仅是要忏悔自己的罪，还要果断地改变，活出一个远离罪恶、完完全全服从上帝的生命。“悔改”在旧约中的意思为：呼吁以色列人“回转”，忠于与上帝的约。悔改的意思不是自惩、沮丧或悔恨，卖主的犹大犯罪后只是悲伤和痛苦（马太福音27:3这时候，卖耶稣的犹大，看见耶稣已经定了罪，就后悔，把那三十块钱拿回来给祭司长和长老），但他却没有悔改。犹大不也受洗了吗？你认为他的名字仍写在羔羊的生命册上吗？你认为，一位公义的上帝会怎么对付那些仍旧犯罪悖逆祂的人呢？不要被任何假道欺骗，假道不是主耶稣所吩咐我们的。
But unless you repent
Pro. 22:4 – By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches and honor and life.
Shalom Brothers n Sisters,
The truly humble followers of CHRIST recognize four things: that they are not GOD; and they can’t think or tell HIM what HE can and cannot do, and that GOD is SOVEREIGN, and we should obey HIM totally (partial obedience is a sin). When we serve our almighty CREATOR with total obedience, humility and gratitude, HE blesses us in ways that stagger our imagination.
JESUS will forgive our sins, but HE warns us to “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you” (John 5:14). JESUS don’t want us to continue sinning against GOD, and HE said,“ - . . . .go and sin no more” (John 8:11).
Are you still living in sins? JESUS told us and is still telling those who call themselves Christians (not true followers of JESUS CHRIST): “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish”(Luke 13:3).Repent .The first command of both John the Baptist and JESUS (Matt. 4:17).
Repentance is not just sorrow for sin but a decisive change, a turning away from sin and to a life of obedience. “Repent” translates the Old Testament call to Israel to “return” to faithfulness to the covenant. It does not mean self-punishment, depression, or remorse. Judas was sorrowful and distressed (Matt. 27:3Then Judas, JESUS’ betrayer, seeing that HE had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, but he did not repent). Was Judas baptized? Do you think that his name is still in the Book of Lamp? What will a righteous GOD do with a person who keeps on sinning against HIM? Do not be deceived by any preaching that is not what JESUS had told us.
