The Bible teaches us that repentance brings the refreshing of the Lord into our lives. Do you need to be refreshed and revitalized? Is it because you are carrying the weight of sin and need to come to the Lord with repentance?

Main Points:

1. Sin is a burden to carry. It’s a heavy weight to bear. We’ve all felt the load of grief and weariness that sin makes us carry.
2. A critical part of our salvation is God’s call for us to repent of our sins. We hear a lot today about putting our faith in Jesus, but we must see that the Bible also calls us to repent of our sins. The full biblical definition of repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of action.
3. There is no peace, like the peace of knowing that your sins are forgiven and that you are in right relationship with God. You can find the serenity and tranquility of God’s presence when you know there is nothing between you and God.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Psalm 38:3-4 - “…there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.”

Acts 3:19 - “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord…”

1 John 1:9 - “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
