Start Repenting
In Romans 2:4: “Do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you towards repentance?”
The Bible plainly teaches that all human beings have sinned, have lost the desire to serve God, and have no ability to save themselves. We see this truth in the realization that human failures, wrong choices, and stubborn self-will leave us guilty and powerless, and that habits can easily become addictions that are almost impossible to break. If you question if God will forgive you for what you have done, the answer is yes. 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” We read the same thing in Exodus 34:6,7: “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.” Despite our sinfulness, God does not stop loving us or desiring fellowship with us but we must turn from our sinful ways and live a new life with God. True repentance means you want to please God rather than yourself. You experience a life directed outwardly to connect with others, rather than inward focus on yourself.
