In this teaching, we continue our series through the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, turning to Chapter 15: Repentance to Life and Salvation.
Repentance is not a peripheral doctrine. Scripture presents it as a grace of God, inseparably connected to saving faith, flowing from the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, and continuing throughout the entire Christian life. This chapter carefully guards the biblical balance between gospel grace and genuine turning from sin, without collapsing repentance into works-righteousness or reducing it to mere remorse.
In this session, we examine:
Repentance as an evangelical grace, not a human work
The relationship between repentance and faith
The ongoing necessity of repentance in the life of the believer
Confession of sin and God’s promise of forgiveness
Why repentance does not undermine assurance but strengthens it
This chapter draws directly from the teaching of Scripture, reflecting passages such as Acts 11:18, Acts 20:21, Luke 24:47, 2 Corinthians 7:10, Ezekiel 18:30–32, Proverbs 28:13, and 1 John 1:7–9, which together show repentance to be both commanded by God and graciously supplied by Him.
Our aim is to let the confession serve the church by clarifying what the Bible teaches, correcting common misunderstandings, and encouraging a life marked by humble, continual turning toward Christ.
