John the Baptist and had message in the wilderness, Repent and believe the Gospel. Jesus began His ministry with a message, Repent and believe the gospel.
To repent is to turn away from sin and death, your natural fallen state, and to Christ. To repent is to turn from particular sins, gossip, drunkenness, lust, greed, bitterness, confess them, repent, turn to Jesus.
To believe is to put your trust in, to know by faith that it is true, to have certainty of things apprehended without scientific precision.
The Gospel is God’s saving grace through Jesus Christ. You deserved to die but He did. You were dead in your sins but He raised you up and justified you before the Father. He is long-suffering and quick to forgive sins. The gospel is that Jesus is Lord of everything and your Lord.
When you repent and believe the gospel you bow the knee to Jesus, the Christ and our Lord and Savior.
