A major focus of John the Baptist's ministry was a call to repentance and turning to righteousness, a focus that Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul reinforced and magnified. In mainstream Protestantism, repentance has fallen out of favor and has been replaced by cheap 'grace.' The Law allegedly has been done away in the process. Actually, repentance is mentioned far more in the New Testament than in the Old Testament, as the New Covenant stresses that Christians, after they have rejected their sinful past, have been designed for works that are in alignment with God's law. Jesus, in the model prayer asks us to ask for forgiveness of our trespasses on a daily basis and counsels five of the seven churches in Revelation 2 to repent from their sinful ways, radically change course, and turn to God. Repentance transcends remorse, incorporating works of righteousness in sync with God's Law. If the Law were done away, there would be no need of a Savior.
