“Good News” in Greek is Euangelion. This word combines “angelos” referring to the one announcing news; a herald, and “eu” meaning joyful. Combined, the word means news that brings joy.
Repentance can only happen when • We realize we are slaves to our sinful nature and to Satan. • We realize that we are all in need of deliverance.
Application • Ask God to reveal to us the sins we need to repent from. • Ask God to reveal to us if we really love Him as we say we do by examining our works.
