[Music] [Music] hello and welcome to another teaching by 11 19 Ministries our ministry teaches that the whole Bible is true and applicable for our lives today if you wouldd like to know more about what we believe and teach please visit us at test.net we hope that you enjoy studying and testing the following [Music] teaching the Hebrew word most often translated as repentance is tshua the root word is Shu which means turning back we find this word first used in Genesis 3:19 which properly sets the tone for this word as something that is the return back to its original State Genesis 3:19 by the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground for out of it you were taken for you are dust and to dust you shall return the original state of man was declared by our creator to be good Genesis 1:31 and God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good after Adam and Eve turned away by disobeying yahweh's instructions yahweh's goal for all of mankind is repentance or to turn back to him our life should be a constant state of Tashua as we constantly fight the flesh which is against the Torah and turn back to yahwe the source of Torah in the end we battle the flesh through to shua we will be restored back to our original state in creation as good Paul makes these points rather well in Romans Romans chap 8 for those who live according to the flesh set their minds on things of the flesh but those who live according to the spirit set their minds on things of the spirit for to set the mind on the flesh is death but to set the mind on the spirit is life and peace for the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God for it does not submit to God's law Torah indeed it cannot those who are in the flesh cannot please God you however are not in the flesh but in the spirit if in fact the spirit of God dwells in you anyone who does not have the spirit of Christ does not belong to him but if Christ is in you although the body is dead because of sin the spirit is life because of righteousness if the spirit of him who raised Yeshua from the dead dwells in you he who raised Christ Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you so then Brothers we are debtors not to the flesh to live according to the flesh for if you live according to the flesh you will die against Torah but if by the spirit you put to death the Deeds of the body you will live for all who are led by the spirit of God are sons of God pro Torah for did you not receive the spirit of Slavery to fall back into fear but you have received the spirit of adoption as Sons by whom we cry ABA father the spirit himself Bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and if children then heirs Heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us for the creation Waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God for the creation was subjected to futility not willingly but because of him who subjected it in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God for we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the Pains of childbirth until now and not only the creation but we ourselves who have the first fruits of the spirit grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for the adoption as Sons the Redemption of our bodies for in this hope we are saved now hope that is seen is not hope for who hopes for what he sees but if we hope for what we do not see we wait for it with patience Greek repentance is defined as a changing of Mind however the Hebrew understanding is much more concrete it recognized that a true change of mind will be reflected in Behavior meaning this if you believe the Torah or the word of God to be true then the only result is that you will want to live out the Torah Paul Define living for the Torah as living in the spirit and living against the Torah as living in the flesh it is this turning back to Torah that incorporates the action of restoration the true goal of Yahweh for all of mankind the opposite of tshua is disobeying Yahweh like Adam and Eve did in the garden this is why the whole purpose of man is obedience which necessitates the preceding and ongoing Act of Tashua Ecclesiastes 12 the end of the matter all has been heard fear God and keep his Commandments for this is the whole duty of man the pictograph Hebrew offers us an even greater understanding of the nature of Tashua the word t Shuba in pictograph form is an allc consuming fire that connects through the nail the house the Hebrew understanding is that offending someone equates to a broken house it is disconnected just as Adam and Eve became disconnected from the house of Yahweh until one reconnects the house is out of order or in chaos the VAV in Tashua represents a nail or a hook repenting is like using a nail a v to reconnect your house with a nail to someone else to repent is to turn and to turn is to reconnect the reconnection to Yahweh is realigning with his Torah when one properly aligns with his Torah because of the Torah is instructional it causes obedience to the Torah it causes action Acts 26 but declared first to those in Damascus then in Jerusalem and throughout the region of Judea and also to the Gentiles that they should repent and turn to God performing deeds and keeping with their repentance repentance is not saying I'm sorry it is a change in lifestyle it is turning back to Yahweh and living out his word as our Messiah Yeshua declared Matthew chapter 4 from that time Yeshua began to preach saying repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand Mark 1 and saying the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent and believe in the gospel Mark chap 6 so they went out and proclaimed that people should repent Luke chap 5 I have not come to call the righteous but Sinners to repentance Luke 13 no I tell you but unless you
