What Do We Need To Repent Of?

With these things in mind, the next important question is what do we need to repent of. If we do not get a clear idea of what we need to repent of, then we can waste a lot of effort repenting of things that may not have been a major issue and not repenting of things that are. Or worse yet, we get overwhelmed with all our weaknesses and loose hope that we can repent. 

In order to more fully understand this, you need to realize that many different faiths and cultures put priority on different things. In one culture certain behaviors might be considered wrong that might not have anything to do with our characters. And in other cultures practices that might be considered perfectly acceptable are not in accordance with the laws of God. 

So there does need to be a standard by which we judge whether our behavior is right or wrong. In the next articles, we can examine some popular theories regarding these matters so that we can get to the truth.
