The Life of Repentance and Purity part3
By H.H Pope Shenouda III
v Repentance is a new pure heart, which God gives to the sinners to love Him with’.
It is a divine act performed by God inside the person, according to His divine promise which
says, “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, I will cleanse you from all your filthiness.... I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.... and cause you to walk in My
statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them” (Ezek 36:25-27).
v Repentance is freedom from the slavery of sin and the devil.
It is also from the most sinful habits and from running after lusts. It is impossible for us to partake of this freedom without the work of the Lord in us. Therefore the Bible says: “If the
Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). It is true freedom because: “whoever commits sin is a slave of sin” (John 8:34). We receive this freedom if by repentance, we stand firm in the truth - and not through vanity. “And the truth shall
make you free” (John 8:32).
v Repentance then, is forsaking sin because of the love of God and the love of righteousness.
Not all forsaking of sin is considered repentance. Other reasons are fear, embarrassment, inability, preoccupation (with the remainder of its love in the heart) or as a result of unsuitable situations are not considered repentance. As for true repentance, it is the discarding of sin practically, mentally and from the heart, out of love for God, His commandments and His kingdom and the repentant's care for his eternity.

حكمة اليوم : أصعب مـا في الحيـاة .. آن يجبرك إنسـان على التعلق به و يتركك بكل سهولة
