“When John the Baptist, the greatest man born of a woman, the Bible says, came as Christ’s forerunner he preached the absolute need for repentance from sin. When Christ started out on his public ministry he called for repentance. When the apostles of the early church arrested the attention of their society they demanded repentance. Yet the Christian leaders of our generation are almost silent on the subject. They are reluctant to carry out Christ’s command that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations of the earth.”
