I repent all the time and ask for forgiveness. Not because i was "not born again" anymore or "not a child of God" anymore, but because i was out of fellowship with God.None, Jon.
Thank you.
I apologize to God for my wrong doing. I am called to repentance and I do repent.
God provides for every means for me to not sin. You have the right to never sin ever again.
NO EXCUSES. Giving excuses is not repenting. You need to take responsibility for your wrongs and come clean with God.
John 3
20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21“But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
Come clean with God, Trust in God. One needs to REPENT and admit the fault lies with them not with some excuse, not some condition, not with God.
You have never apologized to GOD for anything if your pointing at "sin nature" or not being "born again" or not being "regenerated".
We have a father in heaven who loves us, We confide in him, I tell him what is my fault.
I ask my wife to forgive me when i do something unloving to her. Not because we suddenly became "Unmarried" or divorced, but because our Relationship needs to be restored and be brought back into healthy fellowship.
