Repentance

True repentance is a changing of direction, mind, and belief.

Is the begging, pleading with, and persuading the offended to no longer administer a consequence or judgment.

Proper action of repentance incorporates fasting, concerted prayer, open sorrow, and exposure.

Application

There is an urgency for the Return of the Lord. However, this urgency is usually regarding the rapture or being caught up with God, but fails to recognize the double agency of God at that time. Many believe that this will be a time of joy, happiness, and blessings. We fail to understand that it is also possible that it is a day of reckoning and judgment.
