"The act of changing one's mind." This is what the scripture says about repentance. True biblical repentance goes beyond remorse, regret, or feeling bad about one's sin. It means turning and walking away never to repeat the sin.
When we admit our sins and seek God's forgiveness, He forgives and forgets those things. Our LORD God chooses to forget all the bad stuff that we once were entangled with. We are given a clean slate, basically a do-over!
Look at the story told in the Book of Luke 15:17—24, in regard to the Prodigal Son. Just as the earthly father, forgave his son so will your Heavenly Father forgive you when you seek His forgiveness.
Remember God loves you — all of you and your imperfections. Only He can wash us and cleanse us from the past errors of our ways.
Stay tuned for (Part 3), the conclusion of, "GOD CAN CANCEL YOUR PAST!"
