A thought Repentance & Renewal
Often, when someone hears about repentance, it can evoke the intense image of a preacher fervently, sometimes even angrily, calling us to turn from our sins or face the consequences. Alternatively, it might bring to mind the image of a child quickly saying sorry to dodge punishment for a naughty act. This perception isn’t entirely incorrect, but it only scratches the surface of the deep and transformative trek that repentance truly entails. Repentance is far more than a hasty, fear-driven choice; it’s an earnest regret for veering off the path God has lovingly set for us, paired with a decision to walk anew in His ways and with His power.
This process involves acknowledging our faults, confessing them with true reflection, and, in turn, welcoming and accepting God’s forgiveness. It’s not simply about dodging repercussions but about a change of heart and restoration of our soul. In repenting, we turn around to start walking towards a life aligned with God’s good and beautiful purpose. It’s not only characterised by altered deeds but by this holistic transformation of our hearts and minds. As a response, attempting to make amends where possible, we bring this way of Jesus (Repentance & Renewal) to our everyday lives.
