Once you have repented you can accept God’s forgiveness. His Word assures us that once we believe and repent that we are …
“…justified [acquitted of our sins and guilt] by faith [simply believing], we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Romans 5:1)
We stand before God forgiven and accepted just as if we had never sinned!
God promises,
“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more”
(Hebrews 8:12).
Immediately upon being justified by faith, God begins His work of regeneration in the innermost parts of your heart. This is a renewing in which you pass from spiritual death unto spiritual life. You are born again into the Kingdom of God – a new creature in Christ.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
