You always hear “Repentance means to change your mind”.

Most Christians probably already know this!

The issue isn’t knowing that Repentance means to change your mind!

The issue is in not understanding that to Repent means to change your mind about your state of righteousness, and NOT to change your mind about your sins.

You see, we can’t easily change our mind about our sins.

We know we sinned.

We might even be sorry that we sinned.

But we cannot by guilt and regret keep ourselves from sinning again.

If it was so easy to “change your mind” about committing sins we wouldn’t continue to stumble in them over and over again.

The more you renew your mind; to change your mind about how righteous you are in God’s sight, the less you will commit sin, and the more you will live for Christ.

Change your mind about the right thing.

Don’t waste time focusing on changing your mind about your sins.

Instead, every time you are reminded of your failures, remind yourself that you re the righteousness of God by Christ Jesus, and don’t allow condemnation to control you.

That is repentance!

Not wallowing in self-pity and promising God through tears or crocodile-tears that you won’t sin again.
