Spiritually Turning Around

When we win, we are called to repent. Repentance occurs when we come into alignment with what God says about what we have sinfully done. We confess the sin, and then we forsake it, relying upon the grace of God to immediately and fully cleanse us. We also rely upon the Spirit to break the power of that sin so that we walk in freedom. Psalm 51 reveals precisely what repentance look likes in the life of a believer. After David morally failed, God brought him to repentance so that David could be free of the destructive powers from what he had done. His words reveal a heart that is spiritually turning around. We are greatly benefitted by studying his words so that, when the time comes for us, we understand how to return and be restored to God.
