Repent &saved by Grace are tied together. Repent is changing from walking in sin to going forward as a new person no longer walking in sin. Sin is defined in scripture as walking forward outside of God’s Law, that is breaking any one of God’s laws. Repent is a continuous way of walking right up to one’s death. No one can earn Salvation by the way they walk, but all are Judged by the way they walk. If the LORD finds them acceptable by the way they walked, He then extends Salvation to them as a gift, Grace. The first command given to us from Yeshua is to live by every word of God, that is a quote He made from Deu. Only the Old Testament existed when Yeshua walked among us on earth. If you can think with logic, that says the complete Bible, Old & New Testaments apply equally today. One Bible, All of the word of God. Mat 5:7-9 is important scripture as it tells one how all will be Judged.
There is only one name through which salvation is given & that is through Yeshua, Act 4:12. All judgment is given to Yeshua, Joh 5:22. Salvation is a conditional promise, as to how we are walking at the time of our death, Eze 18:24-32. We are to hear & obey Yeshua, Act 3:22-23 & Deu 18:15-18. To understand what the word “hear” means one must go to the Old Testament & use Strong’s Hebrew Number H8085, it means hear & obey, Shema, not just listen. We are to follow, hear & obey Yeshua, He is our way forward. He used parables, old cloth/new cloth, old wine/new wine, old wineskin or bottle/new wineskin, Luk 5:36-39. Yeshua was saying leave the old sinful man and way of walking behind and now walk forward as a new man, no longer sinning. He also tells us it takes time to form new habits as you like the old wine in preference to the new. This is supported also in 2Co 5:17. – continued --
