Today we are going to talk about “repentance from dead works.” Jesus didn't call us to acceptance and to love everyone unconditionally. He didn't call us to tolerate, or to put up with, or to join in with worldly ways. Jesus called us to repent, which in the Greek means to change our mind, to make a decision to change, to turnaround from the direction we are headed . It is a mental decision, it is not to be confused with the emotional feelings of regret. As Christians, when we come to Christ we need to understand that it's not about acceptance and tolerance and unconditional love, just put that aside along with any other preconceived ideas of what “coming to Christ” looks like. Let’s keep it about getting planted and rooted in Christ and growing up in him and becoming full sons and daughters, let’s set that as your vision. The goal of this series will be understanding what the “elementary principles of Christ” are so that you can build a strong foundation.
