Repentance, Remorse, and Regret

Repentance is the act of turning from disobedience to God with intentional obedience.

Repentance is not a one-time act but a continual process of turning to God, letting God lead you in your walk

Repentance involves a heartfelt turning away from sin and a commitment to follow Christ, resulting in a life transformed by His grace.

 Repentance brings healing, peace, serenity:

                Between ourselves and God

                With ourselves

                With others around us

Repentance is a step that helps realign us with God’s image and likeness.
