[Romans 3:21] "But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are."
Aramaic words are translated-"repent'': PNA and TOB. The first, PNA, means ''to turn, to turn towards, to turn back, to return, to be restored, given back, and returned to the owner.'' The second word, TOB, means ''to return, come again, to flow back, and turn to God.'' Both of these words may paraphrased as ''doing an about-face.''
You cannot experience the kind of sorrow that will cleans and change your nature until you wish with all your heart to come up out of your intellect into the Light of Realization. Your aim must not be to absorb, word for word, the facts whritten hear, but to separate your conscious, aware self from its absorption in its thinking.
Jesus further distinguishes between those who are "born of the flesh"...and those who rely on information based on the senses only-and those who are "born of the spirit," those who have transcended the senses and see beyond and through all physical and mental phenomena.
