Vantage Point Devotional
  • Turn Toward Him

    Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. – Matthew 4:17


    When learning a skill, one thing that differentiates between success and failure is the ability to take constructive criticism. If beginners want to hear only praise and cannot receive correction, they will not learn. Likewise, a negative reaction or connotation to the word “repent” hinders people’s growth in the Lord. Those who become offended when their weaknesses are pointed out are likely to ignore guidance that could make their lives better. Or they could be overcome with guilt and shame and be prone to giving up. However, when God’s people turn from their own ways to His ways in all of the things they do, they enjoy great advantages of the Christian life.

    Immediately preceding today’s verse about repentance, the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, where He was tempted by the devil. Satan challenged Him to use His power for His own benefit. Jesus did not give in to temptation. He knew how important it was to live by the Father’s Word. When Christ later told people to repent, He never had the experience of needing to repent, but He knew exactly what it was like to please the Father.

    Repentance is a wonderful thing. It is a quality to be cultivated as an attitude; continually seeking and following God’s ways and turning away from anything that displeases Him. Just as a person becomes successful at a skill by following mentors, you can be successful in the Kingdom of Heaven by continually turning from the world’s ways and following Jesus. As you turn to the Lord in prayer, intercede for the nation, that citizens and governing officials awaken to God’s goodness and truth, and repent. 

    Today’s Verse: Matthew 4:17

    From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

    Recommended for further reading: Romans 2:1-11

    Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

    He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.
