Last week, I talked about looking hard at what needed changing in your life, in order to get past it and grow in Christ. To experience the freedom in Christ that I know exists, we need to understand repentance. Wikipedia’s description of repentance is a change of thought to correct a wrong and gain forgiveness from a person who is wronged. In religious contexts it usually refers to confession to God, ceasing sin against God, and resolving to live according to His law. It typically includes an admission of guilt, a promise or resolve not to repeat the offense; an attempt to make restitution for the wrong, or in some way to reverse the harmful effects of the wrong where possible. This is NOT something we can do on our own. We need to submit to God and resist satan’s temptation to continue to sin!
TweetJames 4:7
4:7 So give yourselves completely to God. Stand against the devil, and the devil will run from you.
