Apologising to God and Making a New Start.

In the Old Testament it is frequently God who 'repents' or changes His mind about the punishment He is about to bring upon His people (see Amos ch.7; Zechariah 8:14; Jeremiah 18:8). Perhaps the word relent more accurately describes God's intentions. But Israel also is called upon to repent and turn away from idols, and they will be forgiven (see Ezekiel 18:30-32).

The message of John the Baptist and Jesus was for all men to repent and they would be forgiven (see Matthew 3:1-4; 4:17). The reason people were encouraged to repent was that the kingdom of God was near, and that the unrepentant would be excluded from the kingdom (see Matthew 25:1-13). Repentance was to be shown by a change of heart and life style, and by submitting to baptism, which in symbol indicated death to the old life of sin and rising to start a new life in Christ (see Matthew 3:5-6).

"Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall." (Ezekiel 18:30).
