God Gives the Gift of Repentance to Those Who Come unto Him by Sending Them the Holy Spirit ㅡ
“Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.”
(Acts 5:29-32)
Some seem to feel that they must be on probation and must prove to the Lord that they are reformed, before they can claim His blessing.
But these dear souls may claim the blessing even now.
They must have His grace, the Spirit of Christ, to help their infirmities, or they cannot form a Christian character.
Jesus loves to have us come to Him, just as we are—sinful, helpless, dependent.
Repentance, as well as forgiveness, is the gift of God through Christ.
It is through the influence of the Holy Spirit that we are convicted of sin, and feel our need of pardon.
None but the contrite are forgiven; but it is the grace of God that makes the heart penitent.
He is acquainted with all our weaknesses and infirmities, and He will help us.
