Billy Graham Jesus told the truth about repentance. He said, “Unless you repent, you will perish” (Cf. Luke 13:3).
Have you repented? Repentance means change. I change my mind about God, about myself, about my fellow man. I change my way of living. But on my own I don’t have strength to change. I can’t change. I can’t become a Christian. Why? Because I’m “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1).
God has to help me change. He has to help me repent. And I have to say, “O God, help me to repent.” Not only do we have to repent, but by faith we must receive Christ into our hearts as Savior and Lord.

Prayer
Dear Lord, please show me anything for which I need to repent. I want to be fully surrendered to You as I trust You entirely. Please show me how to do that. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
