103. Since there is with man from the Lord this power to reciprocate, and the converse, and since there is this consequent faculty of mutual cooperation, therefore the Lord says that man should repent; and no one can repent except as of himself:
Jesus said, Except ye repent, ye shall all perish. Luke xiii 3, 5.
Jesus said, The kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel. Mark i 15.
Jesus said, I came to call... sinners to repentance. Luke v 32.
Jesus said to the Churches, Repent. Rev. ii 5, 16, 21; 22; iii 3
also:
They repented not of their deeds. Rev. xvi 11.
