This core truth revealed in scripture is the remedy for man’s sin. It’s so simple, yet extremely hard to do. It opposes our pride. It tells us what kind of Person God really is. Forgiveness is right there waiting for us, just one short breath away. Yet this one simple act (repentance) when confronted with our Pride, will keep many out of Heaven. Is it really worth it? I’ll answer this with two questions that only you can answer. If someone offends you and they ask you to forgive them, what will you do? If you offend someone else, and you ask them to forgive you, what do you expect? Your answers will reveal the condition of your heart. If it’s filled with pride, repentance may never give you access to salvation, because you refuse to go there. My question to you would be, if you expect forgiveness from someone else but not be willing to forgive, your sin will not prosper and you will not receive mercy in return.
13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.
