Understanding Repentance: The Key to Salvation and Eternal Life

The Plan of Salvation emphasizes the necessity of repentance to escape eternal damnation. Galatians 5:19-21 warns against sinful behaviors such as immorality, jealousy, and hatred. However, through sincere repentance, as outlined in Acts 3:19 and 11:18, believers can have their sins blotted out and receive eternal life. Repentance is not just sorrow or mere reformation; it requires a profound change of will, leading to transformed behavior. God's goodness and the sacrifice of His Son motivate us to turn away from sin and seek His mercy.
