God's word is revelation, and our work is preparation. In other words, we must be ready to receive what God longs to relay to us. The difficulty lies not in getting God to speak but in preparing ourselves to hear.
(Mark 1:4, 15) While repentance is necessary for our salvation, it is equally essential for our sanctification. A Christian who fails to regularly confess his sin to the Lord resultantly fails to grow in his walk with Him. Your faith can be measured by your repentance. (0936250208)
