Seeking Him Lsn 4: Repentance, THE BIG TURN AROUND
Paragraph 4, pg. 64: "Every child of God which is seeking after him with a whole heart must realize that repentance is not an option, but a requirement. God says, "Return to me, and I will return to you." ---Malachi 3:7
THE ACT OF RETURNING TO THE LORD-forsaking known sin and obeying what HE says ----is repentance.
At this point in our study (Lsn 1, 2,3), are you being convicted of a need for repentance in areas you have buried? There can be a misleading thought, that states, "I've repented of that already", or " I'm good!"
Using 1 John 1:5-9 as our guide, how is God's light really shining and exposing the root of sin?
How are you answering the "CALL TO REPENTANCE"?
