The
Power
of
Repentance:

repent,
turn
and
live



The
beauty
of
the
New
Covenant
is
the
understanding
of
the
grace
of

God,
the
love
of
Jesus,
and
the
desire
it
produces
in
us
to
walk
a
life
of

repentance.
Repentance
is
not
a
onetime
deal;
it’s
a
lifestyle.
We
all
fall

short.
We
all
sin.
We
all
need
to
be
forgiven.



Repentance
is
a
result
of
godly
sorrow
for
our
sins.
When
we
truly

understand
the
sacrificial
love
of
Christ,
we
will
feel
grieved
in
our
spirit

when
we
offend
him.

We
will
feel
sorrow
when
we
walk
in
a
way
that
is
counter
to
His

leading,
His
precepts,
and
His
laws.
We
cannot
grasp
the
depths
of
His

love
and
continue
on
in
a
sinful
lifestyle.
Why?
Because
our
own
heart

will
condemn
us.
Yes,
our
heart
will
feel
condemned.
The
Holy
Spirit

comes
and
convicts
us.
He
encourages
us
to
turn
from
our
sin
and
be

reunited
to
God.




If
we
understand
the
cross,
we
begin
to
see
the
power
in
it
to
pull
us
out

of
our
sinful
lifestyle.
True
repentance
will
break
strongholds
or

mindsets
that
are
destructive
in
our
life.
Repentance
will
cause
us
to
be

freed
of
deep‐seated
issues
that
hold
us
down.
Repentance
will
cause
us

to
walk
in
freedom
from
oppression.
Repentance
is
a
powerful
tool
that

can
bring
us
closer
to
our
risen
Savior.



How
do
we
repent?

1. Recognize,
acknowledge
and
confess
your
sin.

2. Make
a
decision
to
change.

3. Be
honest
with
God
from
the
heart,
not
the
head.

4. Ask
Him
to
help
you
turn
from
your
sin.

5. When
you
fall,
get
up
again
and
repent.

 6. Renew
your
mind
with
the
truth
of
the
scripture.

7. Persevere.




If
you
are
thinking,
“I
do
not
need
to
repent
of
anything.”
You
may
want

to
repent
of
pride.
We
are
bombarded
daily
with
the
temptation
to
sin.

Practice
a
lifestyle
of
repentance
and
sin
loses
its
strong
hold.
Practice
a

lifestyle
of
repentance
and
you
will
be
refreshed
and
renewed.




"Therefore
repent
and
return,
so
that
your
sins
may
be
wiped
away,
in

order
that
times
of
refreshing
may
come
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord;

Acts
3:19
NASB
