“Repent” is the Greek word metanoeō. Metanoeō means; to change one's mind, to turn one’s mind for the better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one's past sins.

Repentance does have to do with turning away from sin, but more specifically, it is about changing your mind about the beliefs that drive sin. Jesus calls us to believe His good news, and as we renew our minds to the ways of His kingdom, we will reflect His glory.

“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel!” Mark 1:15

I believe Jesus was saying to the world, “you’re going to have to change the way you think about everything because I am the inaugurating God’s kingdom in the earth.”

The Gospel does include the fundamental doctrines of salvation by grace through faith, but there is so much more good news about God’s kingdom to experience.

IN THIS SERIES, I cover the fundamental doctrines of the Gospel and God’s New Covenant. I also go into detail about Christ's finished work in you, specifically your deliverance from the Law and your new creation identity. I love to teach on the circumcision of the body of the flesh from Colossians 2. I believe this to be one of the most important truths we can understand as Christians, yet it is largely misunderstood.

I go on to explain how the New Covenant is God’s last will and testament. He gave everything He has to Jesus and Jesus shares it with you. You are a co-heir of God’s kingdom with Jesus. He holds nothing back from you.

I pray this series is a blessing to you. I pray it grounds you in the Gospel and equips you to communicate the Gospel to your friends and family. You probably know most of these truths, but the people in your life do not. It’s up to you. Give them the gift of the Gospel. Know it, appreciate it, love it but also communicate it.
