Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-23

Luke 5:32 (NKJV) 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Who are the righteous?

In this example, Jesus was referring to those who are haughty and prideful, who think they don’t need God’s forgiveness, nor believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Thus, they remain arrogant, thinking they are better than everyone.

Who are the sinners? We are all sinners.

He has come to call sinners to repent and be saved. This was His purpose from the start.

He wants us to have a humble, repentant heart; a heart full of sincere regret and remorse for the things we have done wrong.

When our hearts are in a place of repentance, we will change. We will find ourselves getting serious with ourselves and with God.

We take off the blinders and look deep within. We open up and we are not afraid to admit the convictions we have at times, and our failed attempts to get them right.

It’s a place where everything gets real.

God will meet us in this place, and our hardness will begin to shed as we share our deepest secrets and allow Him to touch us through His forgiveness. This brings healing, deliverance and encouragement.

Matthew 3:2 (NKJV) 2 … “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

It is good to have a repentant heart, to be real with God and to make things right.
