A big step in repentance is to take responsibility for our actions. We must recognize that sin causes damage not only to our lives, but to the lives of others around us, and we will have to give an account for our actions. Paul said in Romans 2:6-11 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.
Jesus also said in Matthew 12:36–37, “… everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
There is a process defined in the Bible of how to deal with our sin. It is important to understand what sin is, the effect of sin, and how God expects us to deal with it. The essence of faith starts with the decision to leave the ordinary routine of life, and to follow God. Listen to the 3 podcasts below to learn more about what sin is, and what the antidote to sin is.
In addition to talking about what sin is, we talk about how to love God and how the 613 commandments recorded in the Bible are all tied to one of the 10 commandments, and each one of them allows us to learn how to love God and know and understand Him better.
As a disciple of Jesus our goal should be to always come higher, and constantly strive to be closer to God. These podcasts are intended to help.
