Throughout church history, there have been those who preached a gospel of easy believism and cheap grace—one that required no repentance on the part of the converts. That counterfeit gospel is thriving in churches today, giving false assurance of faith to people who have no interest in obedience, holiness, or sanctification. This unbiblical notion of faith apart from repentance would be laughable if it weren’t tragically leading deceived men and women to hell.
Faith is not simply an acknowledgment of Christ; it is an active dependence on Him, borne out in the life of the believer in the form of repentance.
