Repentance is widely known as a "cheat code" means of escaping from sin that many freely and liberally employ, to the point that it seems almost like a right. But, 6:13 AM • Thursday, January 28, 2010
Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may return;
renew our days as of old - Lamentations 5:21
It is not 1st for His people to return to the Lord and then be restored. In fact, without God's approval, we can't even repent.
God has absolute authority over all things. It is God who graciously allows us to repent, not because of our ability to repent that we are made right with God. Recognizing that is the 1st step to reconciliation.
