Before you can define repentance, you must define sin. Many believe it is the transgression of the law., Which is true. There is another level under this. Deep down It is the rebellion from God the Father. God wants to be loved and worshipped and held above all things by us, his Creation. He does not want his Creation to follow lists of things to do and other things not to do. He wants me and you entirely to himself. God is love. His character is love. His entire plan for man is based on His never ending love for you and I. He literally gave His only Son's life for us so we can be reconciled to Him. If we only understood the level and depth of His love for us we would better understand what He wants from us. Yes, he has law. It is part of His character. We break his law constantly because we are a broken people. The question becomes, what is in your heart? Is it (You ) or is it (God)?
So, Repentance - what does it mean? To go back to keeping the lists of what to do and what not to do in order to make God love us more? No! There is nothing we can do to make the Father love us more. Remember, he sent his Son to die for us while we where still his enemy. To repent means to turn away from our selfish rebellion from God and face Him, on our knees through the saving Blood of His Son Jesus and ask for His forgiveness which he hands out gladly and freely to those who love Him more than they love themselves. To these he imparts Righteousness.

I love this and I thank you for sharing your insight with me. Saving this to a text doc I've got of things I'm thankful for.

I'm glad it helps. Remember, Satan was not only successful in destroying man through his deepstate tactics, he was extremely successful at deceiving us through Biblical teaching. The real Truth is all still in the Word. Our churches just don't understand it enough to teach it. They were all deceived through the seminaries. Satan has been very busy teaching us all that Good is a tyrant and his demands are unfair - just as he did to Eve in the beginning.

"This I say then, walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary, the one to the other, so that ye cannot do what ye would."
Well stated post. God gives spirit to those who believe. It is the power of God in the believer. The assurance of being a son of God, and as such, the assurance of eternal life. The walk in the spirit is the all truth Christ spoke of. Learn of this.
