Change your heart❤️ Change your mind🧠Important message. Today’s live is canceled, but I have an assignment.💥🔥

I learned something profound in church yesterday. The Greek root of the word repent is literally to change your heart, change your mind. That really is the entire point of training if we want something to be different in our lives it’s always an inside out job here are some notes I found incredibly interesting. I hope you do as well and as always, go make some magic happen today!👊💯🔥

As we journey into the age of artificial intelligence, finding grounding in the truth, becomes more and more important.

Your pastor’s statement is accurate: the Greek word for “repent” is “metanoia” (μετάνοια), which indeed carries the meaning of “a change of mind” or “a transformation of one’s heart and mind”. The term comes from two Greek roots: “meta”, meaning “after” or “beyond,” and “noia” from “nous,” meaning “mind.” So, the concept of repentance in the Bible is much more about rethinking, reconsidering, and turning away from previous ways of thinking than simply feeling sorrow for sin.

Key Points:

1. Metanoia refers to a change in one’s inner self—a transformation in thoughts, priorities, and understanding, which leads to new actions.

2. While sorrow for sin might accompany this change, metanoia focuses more on the shift in mindset than on performing acts of penance or merely feeling regret.

3. In Christian theology, repentance involves turning one’s life toward God, often described as an “about-face” or reorientation of one’s heart and mind toward God’s will.

This broader understanding of repentance as a mental and spiritual transformation reflects the dynamic process of aligning one’s life with God’s purposes, beyond just feeling remorse for wrongdoing.
