The First Word of the Gospel | Rediscovering the Gift of Repentance

March 20, 2025
Pure Life Ministries

Pure Life Ministries has been a pioneer in dealing with sexual addiction and its consequences for over 35 years. During that span of time thousands of people have found freedom through our counseling programs and teaching materials.

Many people assume that when we preach the gospel, the first thing we should tell people is that God loves them. But New Testament preachers like Jesus and His apostles actually did something very different: They first told people about their need for repentance.

In this episode:

- A survey of repentance in the New Testament

- Why the message of repentance is actually a very loving message

- Why the message of repentance is as much for believers as unbelievers
