The Daily Practice of Repentance
Repentance is not merely the doorway into the Christian life. It remains an ordinary and necessary part of growing in grace. As God exposes sin through His Word and Spirit, believers respond by confessing it, forsaking it, and returning to Him through faith in Christ.
In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains the difference between repentance and regret, why confession does not earn forgiveness, and how genuine repentance leads to new patterns of obedience. Christians continually repent because God is faithful, gracious, and ready to forgive.
