Synopsis
"Why is Biblical repentance the need of this hour? Because we are living in a day when most religious leaders actually deny the need for repentance." Thus Pastor Shelton opens this booklet on the nature and necessity of true repentance. First, he presents the underlying problem of man's sin which calls for repentance. Second, he defines and explains what repentance is and how it is connected with faith. Third, he brings us to the means of repentance, which is the Word of God. Last, he shows us the fruits of genuine repentance in a hatred for sin and a desire for holiness.
