We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
THERE IS A PARTY IN HEAVEN WHENN SINNERS REPENT
Count on it–there’s more joy in heaven over one sinner’s rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue. Luke 15:7
REPENTANCE IN OUR LIVES IS A GIFT FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT
Peter said, “Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”Acts 2:38
GOD USES OUR PROBLEMS TO ENCOURAGE US TO REPENTANCE
I’m glad–not that you were upset, but that you were jarred into turning things around. You let the distress bring you to God, not drive you from him. The result was all gain, no loss. Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets. 2 Corinthians 7:9-10
GOD WANTS US ALL TO REPENT
God isn’t late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn’t want anyone lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change. 2 Peter 3:9
