Acts 26:19-20

Repent and choose the salvation that is provided in Christ Jesus, invite the Holy Spirit to teach you His ways and change your lifestyle to one that honors God with the talents and gifts that He has given you.

Precept by precept we become Christlike. As we mature more of the fruits of the Spirit are revealed in us.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

What does God require of us? 

He requires us to: Be fair, forgive others and stay humble. It is all about the goodness and grace of God and nothing to do about ours! Micah 8:6 

Repentance indicates a complete change in thinking. In Romans12:2, Paul speaks of the “renewing of your mind.” We do what we think is best, what makes sense to us. Paul was killing Christians because he thought it was the correct course of action. Christ’s revelation changed his thoughts, but his preaching of the Good News was visible proof that he had repented of his former ways. Genuine repentance is evidenced by changed behavior. NKJ Bible.

Acts 26:19-20Acts 26:19–20 (NKJV)
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.

Matthew 3:8 (NKJV) Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,

Luke 3:8 (NKJV) Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
