I think one of the most terrible commands in the Bible is to Repent. As the cliché goes “easier said than done.” When I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior I wondered if I will ever truly and perfectly repent. Sometimes it grieves me so much, and like the prophets of old I’m so overwhelmed by God’s holiness and my own sinfulness so I can say with Isaiah “Woe to me!…I am ruined! (Isa 6:5 NIV) and in feeling God’s presence I can say what Apostle Peter had said “…”Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”” (Luke 5:8 NIV). I even groaned inside like Apostle Paul “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? (Rom 7:23-24 NIV)
