Acts 20:21. Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God,
and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Repentance toward God brings reconciliation and a covenant relationship of obedience. Faith toward our Lord includes maintaining right relationships. This requires a life of repentance toward one another.
Luke 17:3 & 4. Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.
Hebrews 6:4-6. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
Hebrews 10:15-18. Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
If a believer sins wilfully against God, there is only one remedy:
Luke 6:37 & 38. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
