2 Chronicles 7:14 ‘Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.’
In responding to Solomon’s request to make provisions for the people when they sinned, God answered with four conditions for forgiveness:
- Humble yourself by admitting your sins
- Pray to God asking for forgiveness
- Seek God continually
- Turn from sinful behavior
True repentance is more than just talk, but instead, it is a changed behavior that demonstrates your desire to be forgiven.
Luke 3:3 ‘Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven.’
