bible reading: Acts 3:19-21; 1 John 1:9

19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.

20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.

21 For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets.

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.


devotion:

Repentance is a central theme in understanding our worth to God and experiencing the transformative power of His love. As the Sermon highlighted, repentance is not just a one-time event but a continuous journey. Acts 3:19-21 calls us to repent and turn to God so that our sins may be wiped out. 1 John 1:9 assures us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Question for reflection:

Reflect on the ongoing nature of repentance in your life. How does regular confession and turning to God shape your spiritual journey?
