Making Repentance Clear - 04

Turn Toward the Truth

The 4th of 5 primary principles on clear repentance is presented in this study drawn from Daniel 9:11-14. Daniel identifies the active aspect of Israel’s sin; namely, departing from the voice of God or turning from the Truth.

The remedy, therefore, is nothing short of turning toward the very Truth that had previously been resisted. The Thessalonians did not turn from their idols toward alternate creations of religious man. They turned toward the one True and Living God and began to practice Worship according to the Word (1 Thess 1:9).

This movement of repentance is critical because without a clear turn toward Jesus – The Way, Truth, and Life – pure religion before God and the Father cannot be reached. The Temple cannot be restored, nor Jerusalem rebuilt, unless the Remnant follows this example of Daniel’s Repentance. Likewise, Jesus’ Church cannot be built toward the original pattern apart from departing from our golden calves and turning toward the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth, so help us God.
