Our God has a right to demand repentance of us and universal obedience.Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men every where to repent:.Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.Matthew 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.None but Christ saves, but an impenitent heart cannot receive Him.Repentance does not save, but no sinner will be saved without it.Repentance is the throwing down of the weapons of rebellion against God.Isaiah 27:5 Or let them lay hold of my protection, let them make peace with me, let them make peace with me.”.It is by repentance that the sinner makes peace with God.Jesus spoke the above words, they will never be cancelled.Luke 13:3 No, I tell you but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.The following texts also state the above or indicate it: Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

However, the prosperity preachers are teaching the way to hell. But I think that the natural man in us also automatically craves that and it is just what the prosperity preachers and the word-of-faith preachers get rich preaching: they are keyed in on Adam in us. Such statements as “Grab the gusto ” or “This is the NOW generation ” indicate to us that we are missing out on happiness if we are not doing such things.
