<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-467538"></a>In the prior chapter, we learned that the lesson of the Be Reconciled Before Sacrifice emphasizes a successful reconciliation with an offended person before you can ask God to accept an atoning sacrifice (i.e., which today means the atonement of Jesus). This running off first to be reconciled is, in effect, mandating a work worthy of repentance.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-469244"></a>Jesus told us one prophet greater than all the prophets ever which preceded Him was John the Baptist. John ranks above Isaiah, Ezekiel, and even Daniel. Thus, John the Baptist&rsquo;s words are the inspired words of Yahweh Almighty. Who says so? Jesus your Lord. Jesus was John&rsquo;s contemporary, and must have heard the very gospel of John heralding the New Covenant. Jesus must have been endorsing 100% everything John said as the true inspired words of God Almighty. Thus, one can say John the Baptist&rsquo;s Gospel was contemporaneously adopted by Jesus.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-469248"></a>To make sure we do not forget that John the Baptist was himself a prophet, we should make it a new habit to refer to John the Baptist as The Prophet John-the-Baptist, just like we might say The Prophet Isaiah. Having Jesus tell us that John was the greatest prophet gives us the absolute assurance that the title the Prophet John-the-Baptist is a correct title.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-467539"></a>Does the Prophet John-the-Baptist ever make works worthy of repentance a clear condition of salvation? Does the Prophet John-the-Baptist ever teach you must have a work worthy of repentance that corresponds to the sin you have committed or you will be sent to the fires of hell? The Prophet John-the-Baptist once clearly said directly:</span></p>

<p class="Quote" style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 6pt 18pt 6pt 43.199997pt; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'ZapfEllipt BT';"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-467541"></a>(9) And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (Luke 3:8-9)(ASV). (See same at Matt. 3:7-10.)</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-467542"></a>Here we see a passage that the Modern Gospel completely ignores. You will pause, no doubt, and pick up your Bible to check to verify that this is truly in the Bible.<a href="file:///C:/Users/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/Salvation%20Redraft/Framemaker%20Drafts%20with%20Cuts/To%20Make%20Into%20Online%20Articles/Works%20Worthy%20of%20Repentance.htm#pgfId-467545" class="footnote">1</a></span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">&nbsp;The Prophet John-the-Baptist&rsquo;s meaning could not be plainer. John in verse nine made works essential or otherwise you would be thrown in the fire. In this context, the works were mentioned in the prior verse: works worthy of repentance. Thus, this repentance by works-worthy-of-repentance were absolutely essential or otherwise you would be &ldquo;cast in the fire.&rdquo; John did not say here that works were merely evidence of a saving faith. The Prophet John-the-Baptist said a faith, if barren of good works to match that expression of faith in Jesus, was not unto salvation.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-469404"></a>This was identical to Jesus&rsquo; principle of leaving your sacrifice at the altar and &lsquo;be reconciled&rsquo; with your neighbor, which was discussed in the last chapter. In Matthew 5:23-24, Jesus said the way to receive the benefits of atonement (i.e., imputation of righteousness) was to do whatever it took to appease your offended neighbor. You were going to have to do a work worthy of repentance to achieve reconciliation with the one you offended. Before doing that, Jesus did not want you trying to bring any kind of sacrifice to God. Prophet John makes the same point in Luke chapter three when he talks explicitly of the absolute necessity of works worthy of repentance to avoid being thrown in the fire.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span>This then explains Jesus&rsquo; statement in Matthew 16, correctly translated:</span></p>
<p class="Quote" style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 6pt 18pt 6pt 43.199997pt; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'ZapfEllipt BT';"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span>For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall <strong>give</strong> [replaces incorrect translation as "reward"] every man according to the <strong>practice</strong> [replaces "works"] of each. (Matthew 16:27)</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-467550"></a>The ordinary translation is lacking in two respects. The word translated commonly as reward is &ldquo;give&rdquo; or &ldquo;pay.&rdquo; In Greek, it is <strong>apodidomi</strong>. Also, the word rendered as works is not the word for works used in the New Testament. Everywhere else, the word works in the New Testament is <strong>erga</strong> in Greek. Here, instead, the word is <strong>praxis</strong>. It means practice. On Judgment Day, Jesus will give to each according to &ldquo;the practice of each.&rdquo; Jesus promises to judge by your practice, not according solely to your faith.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-469318"></a>Hence, Jesus constantly tried to create insecurity about evil practices by threatening to use that as the criterion for judgment of everyone. Jesus repeats this in John&rsquo;s Gospel: &ldquo;And shall come forth, they that have done good deeds, unto the resurrection of life.&rdquo; (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+5%3A29&amp;version=WEB">John 5:29</a>.)</span></p>

The way Jesus expresses this injunction is that it is already a given that as a matter of fact He suffered and rose. Those facts are beyond question, and believing they are true is not the key point about how to obtain forgiveness of sins. It is assumed the nations will know those simple facts about Jesus&rsquo; suffering and resurrection. The key, instead, is to preach thereafter &ldquo;repentance [from sin] for the forgiveness of sins.&rdquo;</span></p>

This appears in precise fulfillment of the Mosaic Law on repentance in the following fact pattern: 1. If you stole from someone something which you could not later return, you had to pay four-fold rather than with a 20% penalty on top...Exodus 22:1-9. 2. If you could no longer find the victim or a family member, you had to return the stolen item / the money to a priest as a gift of atonement (Numbers 5:5-8)... evidently implying it would go to the poor. This is thus why when Zaccheus tells Jesus he will pay back all he stole by giving four-times what he stole to the poor, Jesus says "this day salvation has come to this house."</span>]</span></p>

How then will the sinner know that he is sorry for his sins against men, or how will the community know that he has repented of such sins, <em><strong>unless full restitution be made?</strong></em> It is impossible that either the sinner himself, or the community who know his sins against men, can have any certain evidence that he is penitent, unless by making all possible restitution.

Can any man think that he is sorry for that sin or wrong which he has done, when he makes no effort to make amends to him who was injured in person, character, or property, by it?

In such a case, the repenting sinner was to seek out the kindred of the injured party, and if he could find any kinsman, he was to recompense this kinsman. However, if he could not find a kinsman, he must recompense it to the Lord, besides offering his trespass offering. It was to go into the Lord&rsquo;s treasury. (Num. 5: 7, 8.)</span></p>

<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a name="pgfId-469486"></a>Prophet John told the religious rulers to &ldquo;Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance&rdquo; (Matt. 3:8.) He told them not to trust in their election as sons of Abraham. That is not the criteria for salvation that God will employ on judgment day. Instead, bring forth fruit worth of repentance. For every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire.&rdquo; (Matt. 3:10). Jesus repeats this phrase.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-469723"></a>When we deciphered &ldquo;works worthy of repentance,&rdquo; we found that the Bible has many passages to explain them. These were works of restitution to make right as much as possible your wrongs. A simple &lsquo;I&rsquo;m sorry&rsquo; does not do the job. Mere repentance from sin (sorrow) is insufficient.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">This helps us now to understand what Jesus meant when He said we are not to bring our sacrifice to the sacrifice place (altar) until we are reconciled with the one whom we offended by sin. (Matthew 5:23-24.) Jesus is talking identical to Prophet John-the-Baptist. The work of reconciling to the point one satisfies the one you offended is identical to works worthy of repentance. Both passages are primarily directing us to restitution or making offers satisfactory to resolve the offense we committed against another.</span></p>
