Repent Ye Sinners

I'm trying to get back into God's word and seek him daily. I have started a study on commands Christ gave us. Jesus said many times, if you love me keep me commandments, so I thought it might be a good idea to know what those were. First one I saw in Matthew today was "Repent ye sinners, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." I find it interesting that people today always talk about doing things the way Jesus did, love people like Jesus did, help people like Jesus did, but if you told them what Jesus told people they would find it too harsh. Jesus dished it out, and didn't joke around. He found a perfect balance in truth and grace. He love them all unconstitutionally but didn't back down from the truth. But also it applies to me. I need to have a repentant heart, because the Kingdom of Heaven isn't far away. I need to have a kingdom of heaven focus, and be aware of my decisions.
