True repentance

[RMathews]

Galatians 5:19

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19)

True repentance must have the following characteristics:

1) It must be a sorrow from the bottom of the heart as sins have their roots in our hearts.

2) It should be a sorrow for all sins without exception. One disease is enough to kill a man, one chain maybe enough to keep a man in bondage, and one unguarded door in a fortress may be enough to let in the enemies.

3) True repentance will automatically result in some definite act of restitution, e.g., restoration of stolen properties, offering apology.

4) True repentance will result in the avoidance of all circumstances which lead to sin.

5) True repentance results in the thirst for opportunities to do the good.

6) It may also result in more time given to prayer, cutting down idle hours, etc.

7) True repentance is God-centered and so is always hopeful.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
