WHAT IS REPENTANCE? DOES REPENTANCE BRING JOY? Repentance is not something embraced in our culture, and unfortunately, it is something rarely mentioned  in our pulpits or along with the plan of salvation as it should be... and even when mentioned on occasion, It is simply stated and breezed over and not clearly defined with scripture to bring clarity and understanding. David writes Psalm 51 once his eyes and heart were opened to the sin that he had committed against the Lord... in this psalm, we see the heart of repentance! We see Repentance defined and laid out before us in God‘s word so that we know what it should look like and will look like in our hearts and lives when it’s authentic! Then he aligns repentance, and being “washed”, with restored JOY!!! A lot of people are looking for joy, a steadfast spirit, a revived hope, and life!…there is only one place to find it!
