My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. ~1 John :1-2(NLT)
Calling out of sin and into true repentance.
False repentance is usually caused by fear or an attempt to escape trouble or danger, and not of faith.
The heart and soul remain in the original state.
There is a falling back to sin
True repentance is by faith and the changing of one's heart and mind,
giving it to the hands of God.
In truth there is a deep inner turning with sorrow and distress from sin and ungodliness to God and His righteousness.
*what I learned today. It was brought to my attention for a good reason, of course, and from a good Father*
Thank you Jesus, I love you.

Wow, I love what you wrote there... I never understood what the true motivations behind repentance were supposed to be before. Thanks for that post Danielle!
