2 Corinthians 7:10 (CEV) – “When God makes you feel sorry enough to turn to Him and be saved, you don’t have anything to feel bad about. . . .”  

Romans 10:9 (AMP) – “Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved.” 

Romans 8:1-2 (NKJV) – “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” 

Romans 12:2 (NLT) – “Don’t copy the customs and behavior of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is.”  

Sincere repentance involves the change of any behavior contrary to the way of the LORD God as delineated in His Word. Turning toward God the Father by Christ Jesus and following His way of doing is helped by God’s power within those reborn through the person of the Holy Spirit. That is, the Spirit of God is given to each and every person who receive the new birth (John 3:3-6). More specifically, the Ascension of the Lord Jesus – seated at the right Hand of God the Father brought the Ministry of the Holy Spirit to earth; He remains with us to comfort, counsel, and Teach (John 14:16 & 16:13) as we read, study, meditate, confess or speak God’s Word for the ongoing transformation or renewal of the soul i.e., intellect, will, emotions (Colossians 3:1-17) until the Second Coming of Christ (Revelation 22:7-20) . Therefore, every postcard about previous sinful activity that the devil sends for the purpose of condemnation to weaken or contaminate faith may be dismissed in Jesus’ Name; Hallelujah!  

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill to those on whom God’s favor rests.” Luke 2:14 (NIV)
