Find Your Own Way Part 2

The next step is repentance.Why do we have to repent? the Bible in Rom 3:23-27 ERV


 All have sinned and are not good enough to share God's divine greatness.  (24)  They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.  (25)  God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people's sins through their faith in him. God can forgive them because the blood sacrifice of Jesus pays for their sins. God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair. He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. And in our own time he still does what is right. God worked all this out in a way that allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus.  (27)  So do we have any reason to boast about ourselves? No reason at all. And why not? Because we are depending on the way of faith, not on what we have done in following the law.

Throughout our lives we have all done wrong. We are all born with the ability to do Good and the temptation to do bad (sin). This is how we work and we cant change those facts. Sin is doing stuff that you know is wrong. It can be any type of sin from telling a little white lie, having bad thoughts about a person, carrying a grudge, to robbing a bank or killing someone. 

Repentance is admitting that you know you have sinned in your life and ask for forgiveness. You must not just say the words. You must believe in your soul in Jesus and the fact that he died for your sins and want him to forgive you for your sins. Repentance does not stop there you must do your best to turn your life away from sin.
