Evangelism 101, Day 11
Repentance. Read Jonah 3:6-9.
Nowhere in his message did Jonah mention anything about repentance. Nowhere did he say that God would relent. However, the king decided that they would trust in the nature of God and would repent anyway.
Often people say they come to God because they want to avoid the punishment of their sin. But, true repentence understands that we actually deserve the punishment. We will still seek to praise God and follow Him, even if he didn’t promise us heaven. Are we willing to, like the people of Nineveh, just come to God and repent regardless of what God offers us in return?
