True Godly repentance, leads to a renewed joy found in turning to God, and true remorse, yet trusting him to wash you of your failure. Ungodly repentance is of the world, and is more about regret, and/or fear of getting caught, and is of the world. This can lead to tremendous stress, guilt, and even lead to death!

It is the gift of life for those who believe, but for those who don’t, it is foolishness, but also carry’s the weight of eternal judgement. God does not any to perish, but to receive the free gift of life. This does not mean, that there was not a tremendous price to pay, for our wayward hearts!

Love is of God

bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.7.NASB1995

Gods words will not change. This earth will pass away, but his promise is imminent. He will come, even though we don’t know when. We are to be ready, not spending our time unwisely on unimportant things. What are those things? We must decide, based on his word, not our own selfish hearts desire. Holy Spirit, convict us of the things are unimportant to you, and help us change, so we will embrace you, with open arms, with no regrets, both now and on your return.
