Step 3:
Repent
Turning from the wrong
so we can walk in the right.
Repentance is more than feeling sorry—
it’s a change of mind that leads to a
change of life.
When we see what God has revealed,
we are called to respond to it.
“I tell you, no; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
— Luke 13:3
What Repentance Means
Repentance means turning away from sin
and turning toward God.
It is not just regret—
it is a decision of the heart.
It involves humility, honesty,
and a willingness to change direction—
because we now see what God has revealed.
Repentance is real change, not temporary emotion.
“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.”
— Acts 3:19
Why We Must Repent
Sin separates us from God.
If left unchanged, it keeps us from the life God desires for us.
Repentance is how we turn back—
how we restore what sin has broken.
We cannot walk with God while holding on
to what He calls us to leave behind.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…”
— 1 John 1:9
Reflection:
Is there anything I know I need to turn away from?
What Repentance Looks Like
Repentance is not complicated—but it is intentional.
Repentance is a choice we make.
“Let the wicked forsake his way… let him return to the Lord.”
— Isaiah 55:7
A New Direction
When we repent, something changes.
God forgives.
God cleanses.
God restores.
We are no longer walking the same path.
Not just improved—
but redirected.
Repentance doesn’t just remove the past—
it opens the future. Not just improved—but redirected.
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
Repentance is the turning point.
God is ready to forgive—and lead you forward in a new direction.
