Repentance
2nd Corinthians 7:10
The experience of recognizing one's wrongdoing is most accurately expressed in the following phrase: My transgressions, my transgressions, my Redeemer,
It is unfortunate that they are directed towards you.
Experiencing a profound sense of guilt or wrongdoing is a rare occurrence for individuals. This marks the inception of comprehending the nature of God. According to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit would bring forth a sense of guilt or awareness of wrongdoing in individuals (see to John 16:8). When the Holy Spirit prompts an individual's conscience and leads them to encounter God, their concern is not primarily about their relationship with others, but rather their relationship with God. As expressed in the words, "Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight..." The reference is to Psalm 51:4. The concepts of conviction of sin, forgiveness, and holiness are intricately connected, to the point that only those who have been forgiven can truly be considered holy. He demonstrates his absolution by embodying the antithesis of his former self, through the divine benevolence. Repentance invariably leads an individual to acknowledge, "I have committed a wrongdoing." The most definitive indication of God's presence in one's life is when one expresses a statement and genuinely intends it. Anything less than acknowledging one's silly mistakes is merely an expression of sadness, which is a reflexive response stemming from self-disgust.
Access to the realm of God is attained by the intense and abrupt anguish of remorse clashing with the perceived moral uprightness of individuals. Subsequently, the Holy Spirit, who instigates these conflicts, initiates the development of the Son of God within the individual's existence (according to Galatians 4:19). The manifestation of this new existence will occur through deliberate remorse followed by instinctive sanctity, never in the reverse order. Repentance forms the fundamental basis of Christianity. Technically, an individual is unable to engage in repentance at will— repentance is bestowed upon them as a divine gift. The former Puritans would pray for the "ability to weep." If you fail to see the significance of repentance, you are permitting yourself to persist in a state of sin. Conduct a self-evaluation to determine if you have lost the ability to genuinely feel remorseful.
