What is Repentance as definded in Scriptures?

rosh hashhannah repentance Repentance is the act of changing one's mind. Webster defines the word as "to feel sorry for or reproachful for what one has done or has not done". Webster also gives the definition as to feel such regret and dissatisfaction over some past action or intention as to change one's mind about it or to change one's way.

Repentance involves changing one's affections - from earthly things to heavenly things. It involves turning to the living Adonai from a god of self. It is looking unto Yahushua instead of looking unto another.

Repentance requires the right attitude towards sin. This is spiritual sorrow. Repentance is the right attitude toward Adonai, it is a return to Adonai. Repentance is the right attitude toward self. The Prodigal Son came to himself. Repentance is the right attitude toward others. The Phillipian jailer took Paul and Silas the same hour of the night and washed their stripes.

Repentance is not just sorrow. Paul told the Corinthians in II Cornithians, Chapter 7, verse 10, that Adonai sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of. Repentance is not gloomy despair. When Judas sold his Master for thirty pieces of silver, he was filled with gloom and despair, so much that he committed suicide, but he did not repent. Repentance is not quitting a sin for a season, it is totally turning from that act of sin. It is a complete one hundred-eighty degree turn. Repentance is not concealing sin. David tried to conceal his sin, but Adonai exposed it. The story is told in Numbers Chapter 32, verse 23. We even know about David's sin today. Concealing sin is like trying to cover up spilled seed in order to hide it. The seed comes up and is exposed.

Repentance must be followed by works proving that change. In Acts Chapter 19, verse 19, the repentance was evidenced in the bringing of books valued at fifty thousand pieces of silver and burning them before all men. This let all men know of the change. The Thessalonians showed their sincerity by turning from idols to serve the one true Adonai, !st Thessalonians, 1, verse 9. Paul wrote the first letter to the Corinthians and included a scathing denunciation of their sinful deeds. However, part of the second letter to them was written commending them for turning from their vile way of living. A certain man had two sons, and he said unto one, "Go work today in my vineyard", and he answered, 'I will not': but afterward he repented and went". This story is told in Matthew 21, verses 28 and 29. Whatever this young man did, Yahushua said he repented. Yahushua called his actions repentance. The young man reflected over the matter, he came to know that he was wrong, realizing that he had sinned against his father. Having arrived at this conclusion, the young man faced about in an opposite direction and did according to his father's request.

All men need to repent. All men sin and as a result, all men need to turn from sin and turn to righteousness. When Paul was speaking from Mars Hill to the Athenians and reasoning with them concerning the living Adonai, he told them that in times past Adonai had winked at such ignorance as the Athenians were then involved in, but now commanded all men everywhere to repent. This story is told in Acts Chapter 17, and reference here is made to verse 30 of that Chapter.

Unrighteous people need to repent. In Acts Chapter 8, the story is told of a man who obeyed the gospel, he was baptized, but later for the love of gold and popularity, he wanted to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit. At this time it seems apparent that Simon's heart was not sincere and pure. Adonai, knowing the hearts of all men and certainly knowing the heart of Simon on this occasion, directed Peter by the Holy Spirit to tell Simon to "repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray Adonai, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee". Acts 8: 22. Simon was not even directed to pray first. The thing that was first and that was indispensable was to repent or change his attitude and desire. Simon was commanded to exercise proper sorrow for this act and to abandon his plan or principle or action. This lets us know today that all unrighteous men are exhorted to repent. This is their first work. They are not told to wait, to read, to pray, to receive an experience, to relate a revelation in the expectation that repentance will be given to them. Such unrighteous beings are to repent, to change their affection, and to turn to the living Adonai. Then prayer will be acceptable. Then, and only when man repents, will Adonai hear and answer. When man comes loving his sins and resolving to continue practicing them, Adonai will not hear him.(John 9: 31, I Peter 3: 12).

There is a blessing in repentance. For the one who has never been baptized into Yahushua, turning to the living Adonai is the initial step of his response to the love of Adonai which he has heard, and believed, by hearing the life of Rebbe Yahushua, the Savior of man. For those who have, like Simon, been directed by the love of power and the love of the world, it is that initial act that leads one to be restored to his former relationship with the Father.

When man sins, he must either repent or perish. It is just that simple. It is as either, or proposition. Man must face judgement and that is the reason Adonai has commanded all men everywhere to repent. "Adonai has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained whereof he has given assurance to all men in that he has raised Him from the dead" Acts 17: 31. The goodness of Adonai should lead any man to repentance. Peter in writing his second epistle, in Chapter 3, and verse 9, stated that Adonai is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. This is the goodness of Adonai, This is the love of Adonai.

Repentance is a change in our affection, a turning to Adonai. Leaving Satan and serving the Savior causes one to avoid destruction. Yahushua said and Luke wrote it down in Chapter 13, verse 3 of his account of the gospel of Yahushua, "I tell you nay, unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish". It is bad to sin, but it is worse to sin and not repent.
