Repent and Believe (Explored)
Three young men sharing their faith in a direct way. Image taken in Downtown Portland.
So I would like to comment on this image. I really appreciate what these guys are doing and their passion for people's salvation. I believe in the message their signs deliver and the truth of them. But I think that these are the wrong messages today, at least delivered by themselves. People won't care that the bible tells them to repent until they know Christ loves them. That is the first message that we need to tell people, that Jesus loves them, as people, as individuals, then tell them that they need to repent from their sins. He loves each and every one, then we tell them that there are consequences for turning their backs on His love and gift of grace.
