Why should you change your ways?

Foundation Scripture

2 Corinthians 7:10 (New Living Translation)

10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Supporting Scriptures

Luke 15:7 (NIV)

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Acts 2:38 (NIV)

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Meditating Scripture

Acts 17:29-31 (NIV)
29"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man's design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."

God Bless You on Your Journey

Prayer

Father in Heaven, I pray that you help through my journey for change. Teach me your perfect ways and perfect thoughts. I pray that my thoughts become your thoughts and my ways become your ways. Thank you that I am forgiven when I make mistakes. Thank you that the Holy Spirit is present with me all the time when I cry out to Jesus. By faith I know that I will change to be more like Jesus. I pray this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen
