We will sin. Will we repent?

Our sins have consequences.
With every sin we crucify Jesus again and we spit on his face (Heb 6:6).

So what does repentance look like?
* Sense of one’s own guilt and sinfulness
* Hope for God’s mercy in Christ
* Hatred of sin and turning from it to God
* Persistent endeavor after a holy life—walking in the way of his commandments

In plain language, this all means:
Get closer to God.
Ask for mercy not justice!

So what does repentance do? The real, no kidding sorrow toward God on account of sin?
* Understand that sin is ugly and run from it
* Humbly surrender to God
* Make restitution

In plain language, this means:
Surrender to him—let him take over.

The Lord knows we will sin.
The question is: will we repent?
