I confessed my sin to God, asked for forgiveness
To repent (metanoia) means to have a change of mind/heart way from one belief towards another

To repent in the biblical sense is to turn towards >>>>> Christ Jesus as Saviour away from self effort and dead good works >>>>> and accept His free gift of salvation making Him the object of your faith because He bore all your sins on the cross and accepted judgement in your place so you can be declared innocent of all charges/sins.

Well I was not living right when I got in trouble with the Law, but I still didnt do what I was accused of but the Judge made a decision that I will appeal
But what of today when you missed the mark on Gods daughter via your lack of understanding and assumptions?


You consider making outlandish false claims.... living right?


Look, this shouldn't be putting your life on trial... the point is, it is not a mans walk/works which justifies him before a perfect God...

It is by grace through faith we are justified by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.


Our walk definitely justifies us before man, and God works in His children who He has GIVEN eternal life to already in order for them to conform to the new desires He has placed in them upon making them new.

If you place salvation on your own shoulders while using faith as a prerequisite and not our only part in salvation... then you belittle Gods grace and GIFT while making it a reward instead...

Even our faith itself is a blessing...

all glory to God, our Savior

I mean I promise not to sin that I will capture and not entertain anymore sinful thoughts
That is right you see , you will still get sinful thoughts , but we cast them down in the name of our LORD and Savior , and not entertain them , yet they will still come into our feeble minds , and that is why we need the armor of God to fight these battles that satan and his minions fire at us...

Absolutely, no one here is one step above or below another....

We all need Jesus...

Without Him not one of us could come close... and only by Him we can all make it...
