1 | Repentance is Sorry or Walk From Sin? | Matt 3:8 | bowler | 206749 | ||
How far does repentance go? How active is repentance is it saying sorry and meaning it and moving into Godly living, or is it possible to say it and keep staying in a sinful situation becuase life would be much easier to live? This may seem like a weak question, but I have real pause to wonder what others think about this important issue as of late. blessings abound, bowler |

2 | Repentance is Sorry or Walk From Sin? | Matt 3:8 | Jayell | 206769 | ||
Read 2 Cor 7:8-11, I do not believe that it's simply saying "sorry" and moving on. Repentance is to stop a current direction to turn around and face God. This can only be accomplished by His grace ( 2 Tim 2:25 ) He alone can lead us from darkness to Light ( Rom 2:4 ). "Sorry" will never cut it, that's the worlds apology or better yet; Excuse for sin.

3 | Repentance is Sorry or Walk From Sin? | Matt 3:8 | bowler | 206810 | ||
Jayell I agree with you one hundred percent on this issue. What I have been running across is the practice of turning around from sins that are easy to walk away from by some, but these same some won't walk away from a sin that requires a drastic and devasting life style change becuase they would lose way too much in the process. Acts 26:20c to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, preforming deeds apporpriate to repentance. Yes repentance requires picking up and walking away from sin to "turn around" and have a "change of mind" - you can't repent and then stay in the same sinful situation and be said to have truly repented until you "change your mind and walk away from sin". I wonder how else thinks something? I am open to different understandings than my own. blessings abound, bowler |
