30 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?” (Ezekiel 18:30–31, NKJV)
We all need to learn to apologize when we have been wrong. The simple truth is that we have all sinned (Romans 3:23). We need to seek forgiveness for our sins against God and against others. To accomplish this we must learn to repent of our sins. Only by genuine repentance will we turn from our transgressions and avoid the ruin sin causes. God told the house of Israel to throw away their sins by changing their hearts. That is what repentance is all about – changing the heart. We must get a “new heart and a new spirit” – one that turns away from all our sins. Do more than say you are sorry for your sins. Repent and turn from your sins so that you can be forgiven and escape eternal death.
