Please don't mis-understand what I was saying. Those turning to the Lord (salvation) must always turn from sin (repentance). However, one can be sorry for their sins and make an effort within themselves to turn from sin and still not turn to the Lord. Example: If I'm driving down the road and look in my rear view mirror, I automatically look away from the mirror and what is behind me when I look at the road ahead of me. I can look at what's ahead of me, or what is behind me, but I can't look both ways at the same time. By the same token, I could not have looked to the Lord for salvation if I had not also looked away from sin and the life that was behind me. Read Hank's footnote as Makarios has suggested. I agree with it 100 percent. retxar |
