“But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live and was lost and has been found.” (Luke 15:32)
When a soul repents – God requires celebration! There is no greater joy to be found in all the heavenly realms than the lost sinner being found. We often see in repentance all the difficult things. We connect repentance with shame, humiliation, and brokenness.
Yet, God constantly tells us of the joy that our repentance brings. Celebration is required because repentance brings life, the removal of shame, and the soul being made whole again. Do not allow the devil to rob you of the joy repentance brings.
When we mourn over sin, God celebrates the new life. Saying, “I’m sorry” won’t kill you, but it might just save your life.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
