It opens the door to happiness, peace and points the way to the Salvation in the Kingdom of God. It unlocks the port of humility in the soul of man and makes him contrite and submissive to the will of God. Repentance must involve an all out total surrender to the program of the Lord. Repentance is ever the key to a better and happier life. To repent is to change, to forsake one's ways, to Abandon that course or those acts that are contrary to the word of God.
Total repentance requires much effort on our part.
We must recognize our sin. We must confess our sins to God in personal prayer. We should never cease reforming and seeking to the Lord our God. Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and ye shall find, knock and is shall be opened to you. For everyone that asketh, recieveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
