TRUE REPENTANCE
by Bill Kochman
08-19-2024
Repentance is a change of mind,
And a change of our hearts too,
It is changing what we believe,
But also what we decide to do.
You need to see that being sorry,
Will just never be quite enough,
If minds and hearts don't change,
God will eventually call our bluff.
Changing from a state of unbelief,
Is what repenting has truly meant,
Forsaking all our ungodly thoughts,
And believing in the one God sent.
Thus if our lives remain the same,
Then our repentance is just fake,
So we won't get a path to Heaven,
Of this there is simply no mistake.
