When Repentance Leads to Faith

There will come a moment when many of us are confronted by our sinful behaviors. For some, it can take a very long time; for others, it happens gradually, and our hearts turn to the Lord in repentance. For everyone, the heartfelt moment of repentance is an individual and personal one. The next step is confession which springs from a heart that has recognized its need for a Savior. Our brokenness is not easily seen because we choose to bury our wickedness and make excuses for ourselves. Or perhaps we simply don’t care. Either way, it will always be an individual decision. There is only One who came into this world to die by crucifixion in order to pay the wages of our treason. He died so we can live. But the invitation to live eternally with Him comes with an action we must choose. No one can do this for us. Eventually, we approach the crossroad to where the road will fork. The arrows at the crossroad point one way to perdition, and the other points us to Repentance that Leads to Faith. Have you reached the crossroads? Which direction will you choose?
