So it is vital to embrace a process of restoration as part of your
repentance journey.
What is the result of repentance?
The result of repentance is freedom from the condemnation of sin
and joy from a pure conscience before God.
Acts 3:19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins
may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from
the presence of the Lord
In conclusion:
Repentance is not a once-off event in my life. In my walk with
God, He reveals motives and behavioural patterns in my life which
are not in accordance with His Character. For this reason,
repentance must become a lifestyle. It is a lifelong process in
which I constantly choose to work with God. We must understand
repentance so that our relationship with God can be influenced
positively by it. Repentance is not a burden or a punishment; in
fact it is quite the opposite. It is the wonderful opportunity that we
have to set things right, right with God and right with man.
Think about it in this way: When you buy a motor car, you don‟t
just take it for 1 single service and expect it to give you the best
performance for thousands of kilometres without ever servicing it
again. In the same way with our lives as Christians, there is wear
and tear that takes to the heart and soul of man, and needs to be
attended to by the Lord Himself. But that can only happen if I drive
my life into the “garage” of His care and show Him through
confession where the faults lay within my life. And then to allow
Him to show me through His Spirit, where I need to change in order
to have a safer and secured journey as a believer.
