First Fruits of the Spirit

"In His great mercy,
God has spoken words of encouragement to the children of men.

To all who repent and turn to Him,
He offers abundant pardon.
 
Repentance for sin is the firstfruits of the working of the Holy Spirit in the life.
It is the only process by which infinite purity reflects the image of Christ in His redeemed subjects.
"This is life eternal." Christ declared, "that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3)."
