Repentance is more than just feeling sorry for our sins; it is a transformative process that involves a change of mind leading to a change in behavior. Rahab's story exemplifies how repentance can lead to a fresh start and a new beginning with God. By releasing our sins through repentance, we clear the way for God's light to shine more clearly in our lives. This process of renewal allows us to reflect God's love and grace to those around us, becoming beacons of hope and transformation.
"Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19-20, ESV)
Reflection: What is one specific sin or habit you need to repent of today? How can you take a step towards changing your behavior to align more closely with God's will?
