REPENTANCE NECESSARY
TO BECOME CHRISTIANS
Strong Sermon, Second Of A Spccial Series, Delivered
Last Night At Baptist Cbuub
Kev. Edward B. Jenkins preachpd
the second of the series of Sunday
night sermons at the Baptist church
last night to a large audience. His
text was: "How May We Become
Christian*?" Text Matt. 4:17:
"From that time J-stts 1o
preach, and to say, repent, tor .he
This was the key-note of the early
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
Christian Church ? and Jesus, the
example of a 1 christian people,
prcaihed repentance, saying unto
those who knew h!m not: "Repent
for the Kingdom of Heaven is ar
hand." There are a number of condi
tions and a number of things that
the individual must bo before this
will be complete. Jesus Christ en
deavored to let man see and realize
and know that they were lost.
What Is needed for repentance is,
first of a 1, CONVICTION: Conviction
of the fact that we are without Ood
and without hope in the world, con
viction of the fact that we are sin
ners, conviction of the fact that we
ire out of Ood's plan, conviction that
we have noth'.ng that Is good within
ourselves, conviction by the power of
the Holy Ohost.
F'rst of all, conviction In brought
about by prayer. We may have re
vivals and meetings, but If there Is
not prayer for the power of the Holy
Spirit to enter the hearts of men and
women who are not saved, then we
shell fa'.l entire' y snd completely.
And again It is needed to realise
the fact that we are lost and the fact
that we are unsaved. As I came
down the street tonight I saw men
standing on the streets talking ?
seemed to be unconcerned about the
service of Ood. 8ome of these men
I k?ov ?r? uQMTtd. wtthoit ? :??
and without hope in the world, have
never realized the fact that they are
sinners. They may say: "I am a
moral, upright man in the commun- '
Ity and all that, but they have not
Irea ized the fact that they are sln
rers before Ood. Ezok. 1 R - 2 o : "The
rb-.' : 'r ? ... J; -4 .id
? u slia'.i not ticar the Iniquity cf
iiha father, neither shall the father
I hear the Iniquity of the son; the
righteousness of the r!ghteous shall
be upon him, and the wickedness (f
the wicked sha 1 be upon him."
Jeaus came and died thnt m^n m'ght
have life and have It everlaHtlngly,
I but did not come preaching and!
saytng thai he wanted to cruah men. |
but that he wanted to aave them and I
give them a bet'er life.
What If rep#n*.nT?"#?*
I is turning, a srop, a r.?':?; -ft:-'- ;! '? ?
and turning our faces toward Ood
and towards Heaven and towards
righteousness, and then when we
have done this, wo have faith in J?v
sus Christ that he can save and that
ho will save, and that He Is only
watting ^or u* to come t"? htm.
JeKtia came preaching and to say i
repent for the Kingdom of Heaven
Is at hand. Those of you krow not
^ Jesus Christ as your Lord and Sav
ior. remember this, that Ood. through
all of his love and mercy Is seeking |
I to save you. but he wilt not knock
I you down end drag yqri Into the
Kingdom of Ood. you fnust do your
part, and He ta more than willing to
do hla, and to help you to see that
you are without Ood and without
hope in the world, and may we who
are christians realize that there are
many In th'.a town who are unsaved.
At the morning service there was
one converflon ana ope also at
