The first of Luther’s 95 theses read, “When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, ‘Repent,’ he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” Through repentance, the heart is broken and prepared to receive the life-giving word of God. The word of God then further enables us to grow in faith and repentance. This divinely appointed cycle results in reformation that transforms our lives, and entire cities, for His glory.
