Luke 15:7

"Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."

I pray that our Mighty Savior will save me from my pride. Every day I profess my need for repentance aloud, but I pray that Jesus blood runs all the way to the cavenous depths of my sinful nature and prompts authenticity in my request, but furthermore, I pray that He allows me to apply His grace to the sin (not more legalist rules), and the faith to envision and experience this repentance followed through!

Romans 8:37-39, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

When the Spirit convicts me of sin, I must apply faith directly from The Conqueror for victory! Spurgeon said, "The only weapon to fight sin with is the spear which pierced the side of Jesus." I approach repentance from sin just as I did salvation: I came to Jesus as I was, and trusted Him to save me. None of my acts of repentance (conviction, regret, humility, weeping, etc.) have any meaning apart from Jesus. Morale conviction has no place in redemption.

We are more than conquerors [ONLY] through Him that loved us.
