It’s Never Too Late to Repent
Yesterday, I reminded you how everything you do is seen by God but I want to remind you, too, that, if you’ve been living a life you’re ashamed of, it is NEVER too late to repent. 1 John 1:9 says that, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.” In spite of what some teach, this does not mean that you can sin on a daily basis and expect God to turn a blind eye. It does mean that, “if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). He is not willing that any should perish but that ALL should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
The first step in repentance is to acknowledge that what you are doing is sin. Second, you must ask God to change your heart but you can’t put the sole burden on Him. He will not make you change. You still need to flee when temptation presents itself. If you ask, He is willing to help, however, so that you can live a victorious, Godly life. Don’t delay. Repent today.
