    About this ebook

    "Why is Biblical repentance the need of this hour? Because we are living in a day when most religious leaders actually deny the need for repentance." Thus Pastor Shelton opens this booklet on the nature and necessity of true repentance. First, he presents the underlying problem of man's sin which calls for repentance. Second, he defines and explains what repentance is and how it is connected with faith. Third, he brings us to the means of repentance, which is the Word of God. Last, he shows us the fruits of genuine repentance in a hatred for sin and a desire for holiness.

      The Need of Repentance

      Why is Biblical repentance the need of this hour? Because we are living in a day when most religious leaders actually deny the need for repentance. If they preach it at all, they water it down like the seminary president who said repentance means no more than a gentleman telling God he is sorry. Others say that repentance was only for the Jews and not for us today. Some say that repentance is only for the children of God and has nothing to do with lost sinners, while others teach just the opposite: they say repentance is only for lost sinners but not for the children of God! And still others claim that repentance is just a form of works and unnecessary for any group! So, my purpose is to refute these fatal errors that are beguiling precious souls to eternal destruction.

      Now let us hear the testimony of the Word of God. In Luke 13:3 and 5 we hear our Lord’s words: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. What He is saying is this: Unless you lay down your arms of rebellion against God, you shall perish in Hell, for you abide under the wrath of God. Confess your sins and leave them or you shall perish forever!"

      So to begin with, I must set forth the effect of sin upon the human race, especially upon you and me. What is sin?

      Sin: Its definition

      Sin in its essence is rebellion against God.[1] This means thinking we have the right to do with ourselves as we please and acting independently of God and His Holy law. As the Apostle John says, Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law (1Jo 3:4). In fact sin is our way of saying to God, Stay out of my life; I don’t need you.

      Sin: Its Solemn Consequences

      The doctrine of sin’s effect upon you and me and the whole human race is most solemn. As no heart can sufficiently conceive, so no tongue can adequately express the state of wretchedness and ruin which sin has brought upon guilty, miserable man. You ask, What has it done? Oh my friend, it has separated us from God! It has warped and ruined our bodies, souls, and spirits! Sin has filled our bodies with sickness and disease. Sin has defaced the image of God in our souls. Sin has cut off our fellowship with Him Who made us in His own moral likeness! Sin has made you and me by nature lovers of evil and haters of God, Who is the only good. Yes, it is a most solemn thing to view sin in the light of God’s Word, to see what it has done to man, to God and His Christ, and to God’s creation! Sin has shut us out from God and opened the gates of Hell. It is solemn, because sin has cost man his most precious possession—his never-dying soul.

      Sin: Humbling to Man

      Again, the doctrine of sin as revealed in God’s Word is a very humbling one. Why? Because the Bible does not present us as merely ignorant and in need of instruction. Neither does it present us
