Continuously Repent as in Matthew 4:17. From then on Y’shua began to preach and to say, You must continuously repent: for the Kingdom of the Heavens has come near. The tense used in the Greek tells us to walk in repentance every day, even though we know we have been sanctified and made righteous by the Blood of the Lamb. This is because we have not been perfected, but we are to strive to be better today than we were yesterday as we become more like Him. (See Ephesians 5:1–5.)
