Repentance

Proverbs 28:13 (Amplified Bible)
He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy.

What is repentance? It is much more than a quick "forgive me" prayer. It involves three things: being truly sorrowful for the sin, actively turning away from that sin, and bringing forth fruit in keeping with repentance. Being really sorry for the sin is to be absolutely devastated by the thought of it. Turning away from the sin. There is no real repentance without it. Prove your repentance by a change of action! Matthew 3:8 says. Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart]; Yes, God's Word tells us that true repentance is being truly sorrowful for the sin, actively turning away from that sin, and bringing "forth fruit in keeping with repentance." Not just the big brazen sins, but all sins! Oh, how far from this we have fallen in our modern-day understanding and handling of sin.

Have A Blessed Day
