Luke 3:7-14 Stop sinning and do right — 2 Comments

  1. To me, repentance is it’s own reward. When I was younger, I focused on following God’s commandments because I wanted to go to heaven in the afterlife. But now, I feel that repentance is necessary for me to live TODAY. Sin is a separation from God, and so pruning away sin is a way of closing the distance between me and the Lord. Being close to God is it’s own prize, for it and destroying the influence of sin in my life has done nothing but made me happier, and my life better. The things of this world I would once have viewed as giving up now appear as things trying to enslave me. You may disagree with me, but I believe that all of God’s children are saved (by children I don’t mean all mankind, but only those accepting Jesus) and that sin will not prevent you from entering God’s Kingdom, although it may affect your rank (make you “least” in the Kingdom of God), but surely lack of repentance will make your life on earth and in heaven less great than it could be. Having tasted freedom from sins that used to enslave me, I never want to go back, only forward, because freedom from sin is the happiest feeling I have ever held.
