The only way to GOD is through Jesus. And when we know Jesus and when we come to realize the huge sacrifice Jesus performed for us, we are convicted by the Holy Spirit to truly repent of our sins.
This does not mean a passing "sorry Lord I sinned". No true repentance means a turning away from our sins. It means a one hundred and eighty degree about turn on our sinful ways.
We cannot simply go on sinning and expect that Jesus will keep on forgiving us. Every time we say we are sorry, but sin in exactly the same way, we are saying to Jesus, "I am not really sorry, so I will keep on doing this". "But you know me Lord and I do not mean to do this again and again".
There is something to bear in mind with repetitive sinning. Jesus reads our hearts. Jesus knows our innermost thoughts. We cannot hide anything from Jesus.
So in effect, to keep on sinning, we are saying to Jesus "I am not really sorry".
True repentance looks like something. In yourself, you know inwardly you have changed. Inwardly the sin that you kept on doing, now gives you pain and suffering. And you will stop it or at least try your very best to stop it.
Obviously we are all sinners. However, we need to pray about the sins we habitually commit and humbly ask GOD to send HIS Holy Spirit to fill us anew and to convict us anew to stop sinning in the same manner over and over again.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray tonight that where I sin habitually, you send YOUR Holy Spirit to convict me anew. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!
