Repentance - What it is, what it is not.

Repentance is turning away from what you are doing, to go completely the other direction.  In the context of "sin," it means to stop sinning.  Repentance is not doing something wrong and keep asking for forgiveness over and over again.  If that is the case, repentance has not happened and the guilt of sin  remains, we are not forgiven.  We cannot go to heaven if our sins are not forgiven.  Our sins must be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then?  Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  2.  God forbid.  How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Hebrews 10:26 For is we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Matthew 6:14-15  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15.  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
