Our problem with sin is the way the gospel is being preached. We are told that when we ask for forgiveness with faith we are forgiven, but what about repentance; the Word says we are forgiven once we repent and turn away from our sins. "Matthew 7:14 From that time Jesus began to preach his message: “Turn away from your sins because the Kingdom of heaven is near!” So we are forgiven once we confess and turn away from that sin; we cannot willfully keep sinning and be forgiven. Luke 13:3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
Father, give us new life, help us repent so we will be filled with the Holy Spirit; let Your Spirit raise us up; so we will be in Your presence, and develop a relationship with You. Give us Your wisdom and the knowledge of You, Father, heal this land and it will be healed, save us and we will truly be saved. Father, there’s no greater love than that shown by the sacrifice of Your only Son, to free us through repentance and faith in Him. Lord, Your, forgiving love is one of the greatest manifestations of Your divine nature, thank You for sharing Your love with us. Even though we are still sinners, You give us grace, mercy, and favor; once we repent and turn away from our sins. Please continue working in us, and draw us nearer to Thee. Lord, we respond to Your love with gratitude and thank You for not rejecting us. Father, search our hearts and remove the evil source of our behavior, and let the Word be the method, source, purpose, intent, and the principle; that help us cast sin aside and never turn back. in Jesus name, Amen
