Repentance

“There’s no repentance for the Age of Grace.” Oh, yes there is! How about repentance? How about a change of thinking in the Age of Grace? If a person hears Paul’s good news message and that person refuses to believe Paul’s message, choosing instead to believe that their works can add something, that their works can do something to do with getting them saved or, keeping them saved, that person does indeed need to change their thinking, they needs to repent!
 All who are believing the messages presented by the ministers of righteousness today, wherever they are or whoever they are, the ones Paul is talking about in 2 Corinthians 11:15, they need to change their thinking and accept Paul’s good news message as being the truth in order to receive justification unto eternal life by being placed into the Savior. So, repentance (or, a change of thinking) is necessary, in that sense even in this Age of Grace. 


God’s sentence on the flesh was not reformation. It was total eradication. That sentence was carried out when we died with Jesus. God had no intention of repairing the old man. No plan to clean it up and make it more presentable. God’s intention was to kill it. God has already made you fit, being made complete to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. Not something we must wait for. Not something we must strive for. Not something that will have our fingerprints on it in anyway whatsoever. Our fitness for our heavenly inheritance is an inheritance that waits every believer. It has already been accomplished for us according to the apostle Paul. It’s a done deal. The fitness Paul speaks of here was accomplished by someone else not by you. Tell me, does your no condemnation status with God depend to any degree whatsoever upon your performance? Absolutely not. There is absolutely no condemnation whatsoever to those who recognize that it’s not their own righteous conduct but Jesus’ righteousness that sets them apart as holy and acceptable unto God. To walk after the new identity is to remove the credit from you and give the credit where the credit is due and that’s God’s power within you that produces fruit in your life. To walk after the flesh is to assign righteous credit to your fleshly conduct.
