“A Repentant Culture”

Psalm 51:1–6 ESV

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

Repentance = Willingness to feel remorse and admonition for what you have done to fail in reflecting and living out God’s standards.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
