I've heard a couple of different definitions of the word repent.
1. Confess your sins to God and ask for forgiveness, then completely turn away from sin
2. Feeling remorse, sorry, self-reproach, or regret for the sins you committed, then have the desire to change for the better and "try" not to sin again
The second definition seems more realistic, however, I know the first definition is possible with one or more sins(maybe not all) if your heart is really right with God.
So how do you feel about true repentance? What is your stance on the issue? We all sin and fall short of His glory. Is repentance a daily act or do we really need to buckle down and stop all these sins that we commit?
Feel free to share your thoughts.
