1. Remember: Unless we have something to remember, there will be nothing to repent about! For instance, when the prodigal son came to his senses, he remembered his father’s house and said, “How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare and here I am starving to death!” – (Luke 15:17). And remember how far you have fallen away from the Father. ‘You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen!’ – (Revelation 2:4-5)
2. Repent: Unless we repent, there will be no urge to act! The prodigal son said,“I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.” – (Luke 15:18) Scripture doesn’t say that he wept but that he decided to act immediately! Repentance is not our emotions but our decisions. The word Repent in Greek is metanoia which means to change one’s mind. Decide to do what you did earlier as a new believer! “Repent and do the things you did at first.” – (Revelation 2:5)
3. Redo: Unless we do what we have decided to do, our repentance will not be complete! ‘So he got up and went to his father.’ – (Luke 16:20) We might be feeling sorry about many things but unless we decide to act, repentance is fruitless (Matthew 3:8). Decide to read the Word regularly as you did before! Decide to finish the task you began! “I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore what you have received and heard, obey it and repent.” – (Revelation 3:2-3)
