CLP Talk No. 4 Repentance and Faith


The Christian Life Program's talk no. 4 was presented by John Constancia last 15 October. He defined repentance as a change of mind. That it is also a change of direction in life. A change in the way we live our lives, dropping an old set of ideals and values and adopting new ones. In his talk he mentioned that repentance means a turning away from sin, evil, wrongdoing and running our own life. It is also renouncing serious sins such as non‑Christian reli­gions, Spiritualism and the occult, Sexual wrongdoing, Serious crimes (murder, rape, etc.), Drunkenness and drugs. Faith is believing in the good news of salvation in Jesus. It is a belief in Jesus as our personal Savior. Finally he summarized the consequences of repentance and faith as follows: salvation from sin, satan, death; forgiveness and eternal life with God and new life in the Holy Spirit.
