 WHEN MUST CHRISTIANS REPENT?

To the thinking of most “repentance” is something that sinners must do. And it is true
that Jesus said: “Except you repent, you shall all perish.” (Luke 13:3,5) Repentance is
fundamental to being born again. Except you turn from your sins and unbelief
(repentance) to confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of your life, you will never be a
real Christian.
However, repentance is very much a normal part of the life of a sincere Christian. There
are many reasons under different sets of circumstances that call for repentance on the part
of Christians. When is it that Christian must repent?
Christians must repent when they discover that they have sinned against God and
failed. When king David sinned by committing adultery with Bethsheba; in humility,
shame and brokenness he cried unto the Lord. His prayer is found in Psalm 51. He took
full responsibility and cried “against thee and thee only have I sinned and done this evil
in your sight.” He pleaded that God would have mercy on him and cleanse him from his
sins. The Bible teaches us “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9 (KJV) In the model prayer,
Jesus teaches us that we are to confess and repent of our sins.
Christians must repent of their sins when they have discovered they have left their
first love. Jesus confronts the believers in Ephesus (Rev ch 2) saying to them: “I know
your works and patience and uncompromising loyalty to righteousness and faithfulness ,
but I have somewhat against you because you have left your first love. Remember how
you once was driven by love and vision, Repent of your matter of fact legalistic service
and serve me with the same heart you had in the beginning.”
Christians must repent when they have rebelled against the will of God. When we
get in the flesh and do not allow the Spirit of God to have control, we always get in
trouble. Well known examples of that are Jonah, David, king Saul of the Old Testament
and Peter, Demas and Ananias and Sapphira in the New Testament. In Jesus’ parable of
the two sons; the son who rebelled and refused to obey his father, came to his senses and
repented and did the will of his father; while the other said that he would perform his
fathers command, but never got around to do it. I ask you: “Which was the most
honorable son?”
Christians must cry out to God and confess the sins of our churches and our
country. Daniel repented for the sins of his people and Jerusalem:”O Lord, according to
all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy
city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our
fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.” Daniel
9:16 Oh how we need such a cry of repentance today! The only answer for our troubled
nation is a national repentance and spiritual revival of God’s people (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy
to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James
4:9-10 (KJV) . For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may
endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning Ps 30:5
