- 5. “GUILT” state of a person who has committed some wrongful act “REPENTANCE” a change of thought to correct a wrong & gain forgiveness from a person (or God) who is wronged
- 6. It is the Lord’s will that we live righteously It is Lord’s will that we keep His command-ments
- 7. But we are imperfect and we stumble; living righteously means repairing the wrongdoing when it occurs Admit that you have done wrong Renounce the wrongdoing Ask for forgiveness Take responsibility for our wrongdoing Make restitution for our faults
- 8. CONTRITION “PAGSISISI” It produces repentance that leads to salvation It leads to a change in behavior for the better It is derived from a concern for others It is directed towards the wrongdoing It is liberating SELF-CONDEMNATION“PAGSISISASARILI” It leads to no positive change in behavior nor to turning away from sin It is derived from self-concern; it is directed toward our person, not towards the wrong It leads to self-hatred, self-rejection, discouragement, depression, or self-pity
- 9. The Holy Spirit brings conviction* of sin and genuine contrition * - a strong persuasion or belief Satan brings condemnation Both point out wrong but for different reasons and with different objectives The Holy Spirit defends us, brings us to contrition but never to self-condemnation Satan prosecutes and wants to destroy us
- 10. The Holy Spirit makes His power available to us only when we ask. He works in the lives of those who willingly open their lives to Him. The Holy Spirit will not seize control; He will only accept and enter the territory where He is invited.
- 12. Repentance includes three elements: Intellectual elementinvolves a change in thought and an act of moral conscience – recognition of sin, acceptance of guilt, and a realization of the sin’s consequences. Emotional element includes a change of feelings. We genuinely feel sorrowful and remorseful for our sin and our failure to meet moral standards. Volitional elementis a change of heart. We turn away from the sin, having the resolve and commitment to avoid it in the future. We consciously decide not to sin. It follows that repentance also entails confessing our sin to God, asking for forgiveness of our sin and the grace to avoid it
- 13. Right Approach to Guilt & Repentance There is no substitute to righteous living: No Sin, No Guilt-Feeling But many will fall into wrongdoing. In a given situation, ask yourself: “Am I guilty or not?” If yes: Admit the Wrongdoing Ask for Forgiveness Repair the Wrong Avoid the Wrongdoing
- 14. Right Approach to Guilt & Repentance Expose self-condemnation for it is the work of Satan. Refuse to let it masquerade as a Christian virtue or as objective self-evaluation If there are guilt feelings, go through your past and clear up wrong that may be there Confession of guilt and sin in humble submission will bring divine forgiveness
- 15. Repentance is shown by faith, acknowledging and confessing our sin, and apologizingto God along with the conscious decision to never turn back to sin It means a change of heart from sin to the practice of virtue
- 16. We live under God’s grace, which is not an open invitation to keep on sinning, but an open challenge to do better Turn your guilt into repentance, and your repentance into conviction Guilt always looks to the past, but conviction looks to the future
