Repentance is
from the heart đź’–
And is the continuous posture of the soul bowing down
before a Holy God,
The evidence of which is displayed in a transformed life.
Momentary hype does not last. It’s only outward.
Holy Spirit regeneration and eternal life come from believing God’s truth, from agreeing with God that I’ve offended Him and sinned against Him.
Being a Christian involves going the distance, living discipleship – making daily Christlike commitments – and loving God by obeying His commandments.
It’s a steady, upward, struggling growth that never finishes this side of Heaven.
Dying to self daily and living for Christ requires our whole being and the rest of our lives.
Have you submitted
to The One
Who lived a sinless life
and submitted Himself to death for you?
~~~
Lord, keep my eyes on you and my knees on the floor. Give me victory over sin and a profound desire for holiness. I need you, Lord, every moment, in every situation, with each person. Convict me where I fall short of Your standards and help me to live so salty that others hunger and thirst for You. And purify me by the shed blood of Jesus that I may be a beacon that shines, pointing to You alone.
Soli Deo Gloria

“16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
LEARN MORE ABOUT DISCIPLESHIP Here from this excellent resource:
A Long Obedience in the Same Direction PDF (a classic written more than 40 years ago!)
Since Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic nearly forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by Peterson’s prophetic and pastoral wisdom and the call to deeper discipleship found in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134). This special commemorative edition includes a new preface taken from Leif Peterson’s eulogy at his father’s memorial service.
