Mark 1:15 "... Repent, and believe in the gospel."
Mark is not one of the original disciples, he is however a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and with a strong pen he writes "Repent and believe..." the redeeming words of our Savior. What are we to repent of, wrong thinking and wrong living! Our hearts are easily turned to our desires and the will to obey God is lost in the easy transition to serving self. To repent there must be the determined action of the will to listen to another voice other than our own. That voice must be the intense calling of the Holy Spirit to our hearts about the wonderful work of Jesus to wash away all sin. To believe there must be the action of faith in our lives trusting what we cannot see, believing what we are hearing in the heart. What are you doing about the urgency to trust Jesus with all your heart?
Heavenly Father help us to embrace this truth of repenting and believing the Good News of Jesus and desire only the life you have planned for us. Will you help us put action to our understanding and trust you with everything.
