Proverbs 28:13

"Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy."

"REPENTANCE" is today's topic!
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONFESS OUR SINS!
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAY SORRY!
These methods only demonstrate REMORSE, not REPENTANCE!

REMORSE, carries regret for consequences to SELF as a result of actions!
REPENTANCE, genuinely seeks to repair a broken relationship with GOD as a result of wrong doing against GOD!

"TO REPENT IS TO TURN!"

Proverbs says,
"But the one who Confesses and Renounces..."

NOTICE THAT THEY ARE PAIRED & NOT SEPERATE IDENTITIES!
Renounce:
"To give up or put aside voluntarily, to disown, to reject especially by formal announcement pleasures, positions, relations..."

"REPENTANCE IS BEING SO SORRY FOR HAVING OFFENDED GOD THAT WE BEGIN TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY WITH THE INTENT OF NEVER OFFENDING HIM AGAIN!"

"YES! We may fall short every once in a while!"
"BUT! We are no longer purposely committing such horrid acts against God!

"REPENTANCE!"
