Luke 13: KJV
1 "There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. {2} And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things? {3} I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. {4} Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? {5} I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
Repentance is a change in mind... If one changes their mind and acknowledges that their sin is a transgression against the will of God and they have no resistance to the teachings of Jesus, the WORD of GOD. Then they are repentant of all their sins.. Now some people preach that repentance is only achieved when one ceases to sin.. That if you have not achieved a state of living a sinless life then you have not repented and thus are still under condemnation.. Flee people who preach such a thing..
We are to endure in Belief in the Message of God and endure in Trusting ( having faith ) that the Atonement of Jesus has secured for us eternal life with God..
True.. But when we get people asking questions like you are asking it's a delight to respond to someone who is genuinely asking questions with a desire to grow in the knowledge of salvation..
