The longer I walk with Jesus, the more I am convinced that repentance is not just for sinners, but also for believers. It is not simply a one-time thing, but something God’s people are called to do until Jesus returns.
Every Christian who maintains a repentant attitude brings upon his life God’s special attention. Indeed, repentance opens up something to us that nothing else can.
A repentant heart is soft, tender and pliable, is and easily molded by the Holy Spirit. It responds to and acts upon godly reproof.
The number-one characteristic of a repentant heart is a readiness to acknowledge guilt. It is a willingness to accept blame for wrongdoing, to say, "I am the one, Lord. I have sinned!"
If there is no admitting to sin, there can be no repentance!
Will we yearn for a repentant heart today – and each day?
