Real Repentance {Part 2}

Genesis 44
Real Repentance  {part 2}


Point to Ponder:

Many times, God has to eliminate our own self-confidence before He can do anything in our lives


Four Characteristics of Real Repentance:


    • Repentance treats the person sinned against with respect


    • Repentance leads us to admit we have no bargaining power


    • Repentance submits to the person who has been wronged


    • ALL Sin is against God
