In response to: Confession
BY HENRY M. MORRIS III, D.MIN. | TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2018 You can still be considered in need of repentance despite being in Christ:
Revelation 2:1-6 (NIV)
2 “To the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Footnotes:
a. Revelation 2:1 Or messenger; also in verses 8, 12 and 18
They agree with God. Yet they're still told to repent of something.
