GOD has dealt an irreversible mortal blow on sin. But you cannot participate in the victory parade until you play your winning card over sin. And that winning card is repentance and faith. Repentance and Faith constitute two faces of this winning card. Repentance is identifying with GOD in HIS stand against sin. GOD hates sin: so must you also hate sin. GOD turns HIS back on sin. So do you need to do also in unison with GOD?
