Repent means to turn away from, to stop and make a reverse course. The Messiah told us we had to be like little children, to be “born again” in order to make it into heaven. Repentance is the ticket to this process.
Hell is the Default
The Bible states we are born into sin and shaped in iniquity. This coincides with the symbolic story of Adam and Eve, which I believe refers to a group of people, namely the first sinners. It is obvious they were not the only 2 humans because their son Cain married a woman who belonged to a group of people already on the earth.
Since we are born into sin, and since the default destination of all sinners is hell, we are going there automatically. That is, unless we do a U-turn and Repent. Unless we turn away from our sins, do a 180 turn and walk in the opposite direction.
It is not good enough to simply say we repent with words and then go right back to sinning. It is wrong to willfully sin, thinking erroneously we can then just repent right afterward. That doesn’t work. Yah cannot be conned.
