NKJV “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
NASB "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
We should remember the evil that we have done and do more than ask for forgiveness, we need to seek a path on which there is no evil.
The reason that is given is that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. This seems to refer to the kingdom of heaven and an event, a happening, or something that is approaching. Also, infers that the happening is new, and unlike the past.
It also infers a connection between repentance and our relationship to the kingdom of heaven.
A direct connection is not stated but a relationship is strongly inferred. Giving a sense of both involvement and non-involvement.
