Notes for Workers

"What is the nature of repentance as Christ understood and preached it? The simple meaning of the word "repent" is to change one's mind and purpose. Not merely to repent of or forsake sin but to change one's mind and apprehension regarding it. In Latin the word means to recover one's senses to come to right understanding. A complete change out of a former mode of life to a new and different mode of life. 28 Mostly all denominations and religions knew what sin was and had believed Jesus had died for sin. But the devil had deceived men and women on this point all along the years."
