We are before You in our guilt Ezra 9-10 The fact that we experience God's favor in our life does not imply that God is disregarding to our transgressions. Let the Word of God penetrate our hearts and make the depth of our sin clear to us. God has commanded us to live a different way of life. PERCEPTION Recognize where we are now and where we will end up based on what has happened in the past. No matter how large or minor the sin, if we don’t deal with it at the earliest, it will ruin our lives. CONFESSION Accept God's point of view on sinfulness. Begin to realize the consequence of our sins. Turn to God who will not reject us if we turn back to Him. REACTION A genuine repentance entails corrective measures, even if they are difficult for us to do.
