5 Bible verses, reminders about the need for repentance today

Repentance, turning from one's wicked ways and seeking God's mercy, and receiving salvation by grace are themes presented throughout the Bible which are just as relevant now as they were in Biblical times. Jesus himself preached repentance and the kingdom of heaven. And modern evangelists have preached on the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then calling audiences to pray together the famous Sinner's prayer for repentance.
