Repent! This was the message this past Sunday. Repent! Where do we go from here? How does the message on Sunday translate into our weekly walk with the Lord? If you are a believer this message is an every day message to be learned. We don't just simply repent once, but rather bring our sinful burden to the Lord every day.

What are the sins in your life that need to be confessed to the Lord? What have you not given over to him? What is causing the guilt? Repentance unto life is an understanding of our sin and guilt but also the apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ Jesus. In other words, we know how deep our sin goes but we also understand that the grace of God is even deeper. So deep that the Psalms tell us that our sins will no longer be remembered by God. Yes, they are as far as the east is from the west! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for his atoning work.

This is how the message translates: repent of your sin this week. Turn from it and unto God with a full purpose of obedience after his law. Know that Christ has done what you cannot do and that as such you are forgiven if you have placed your faith in the person of Jesus Christ. Amen.
