Repentance Is The Key To Our Success (Repentance- Part I)

Repentance is critical and indispensable. It is the door through which we access Jesus and receive restoration, forgiveness, and love. When we repent, we also receive the blessings of God, which nourish and build us in our faith.

It is tragic that we often shun "repentance" because, in doing so, we shut the door and lock ourselves out from God. As a consequence, we are left in denial, shame and emotional/spiritual/relational confusion. As a result, we remain in the dark and are in danger of growing cold in our love for God and others. Tragically, in this state, we are cut off from the provisions of His grace, mercy and love - until we repent.

However, when we embrace repentance, we embrace God and thereby open the door to experience renewal, growth, and life – abundantly. Repentance is the key to our success in life. It brings us into the presence of God. The fruit of repentance is like the nourishing flow of sap that runs through the vine which produces very good fruit for harvest. Much repentance produces much fruit.

We need to let Jesus take away our sins...all our sins, continually and cleanse us deeply. With repentance, we are no longer ensnared by our sins and are, instead, set free. Isaiah 1:18 says "I, the Lord, invite you to come and talk it over. Your sins are as scarlet red but they will be made whiter than snow".

The more we let repentance do its work in our lives, the more we see the victory and blessing of God working through our lives. Rejoice! God has set us free!!

Every blessing to your Success in Christ and life!
