Repentance Is a Decision

Repentance Is a Decision

Perhaps you do not understand that God is kind to you so you will change
your hearts and lives.
Romans 2:4 (NCV)

No one is happier than the one who has sincerely repented of wrong.
Repentance is the decision to turn from selfish desires and seek God. It is
a genuine, sincere regret that creates sorrow and moves us to admit wrong
and desire to do better.


It's an inward conviction that expresses itself in outward actions.


You look at the love of God and you can't believe he's loved you like he has
and this realization motivates you to change your life. That is the nature
of repentance.
