Introduction
This is a bible study is about repentance, which is a most important teaching in scripture. Section 4 proves with many scriptures that sins are not automatically forgiven (in a manifested sense) when we first believe in Jesus, or get water baptized. This section is for those people who believe that past sins are automatically forgiven when we become believers in Jesus Christ, or those others who believe that sins are removed from our heart when we are water baptized. If the devil can deceive us into believing either of these errors, then he will be able to prevent us from seeking for the cleansing that is so necessary to enable us to overcome sin in our own lives. He will also be able to keep us from being healed sometimes, deceive us in other areas, and keep us living without the manifestation of the real spiritual power of God in our lives. Section 6 is showing how to repent, and if these steps are followed by anyone it will transform their lives. Their understanding of scripture will increase and their love for God also. Forgiveness of all sins is a PROMISE and all promises can be asked for and received by faith when we believe in Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20; Matthew 7:7-11; Mark 11:23-24). This does not mean that forgiveness is immediately manifested, but it will manifest when we repent of our sins properly. Sin will be removed from the heart and the desire to sin will die. God bless you as you read on.
