Why Preach Repentance in Christ's Name ?Lk 24:47
47 Andthat repentance and remission of sins should be preachedin his nameamong all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
The reason why Christ's Servants were to preach repentance among all the Nations, twas because their risen Savior, the Savior of all Israel His People, He gives them Repentance along with remission of sinsActs 5:31
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince anda Saviour, forto give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
This Israel includes GentilesActs 11:18
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hathGod also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Now this repentance given is the result of the regenerating work of the Spirit from out of Christ. Repentance at the Preaching of the Gospel would give evidence of Two things, #1 That Christ is your Savior and has indeed Saved you, and #2 That the Holy Spirit from Christ has also saved you by His Sanctifying Work in you leading to belief of the Truth2 Thess 2:13
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you tosalvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Belief of the Truth and Repentance are the same, which is why Paul writes2 Tim 2:25
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure willgive them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
True Repentance from the Savior Christ will always result in a acknowledgement of the Truth, which is Belief in the Truth !
