A LIFESTYLE OF REPENTANCE
My college roommate, Steve, was neat.
Not just neat in the sense of a lot of fun but neat in the sense of not sloppy.
I on the other hand, tend to be sloppy. Why make up a bed you’re going to sleep
in that night? Steve was very gracious. Little by little he helped me change. I
learned the purpose of hangers. The reason for toothpaste lids. Our four years
of rooming together were four years of regular repentance. Then he turned me
over to [my wife] Denalyn and she’s still working on me.
The same thing happens to Christians. As
Christ moves in and takes up residence in one’s life, the Christian sees how
sloppy he is. Over time, his language changes. His habits change. He lives a
lifestyle of repentance. The longer we hang out with Jesus, the more we see
what needs to change. Repentance becomes a lifestyle!
