In today's religious/spiritual circles it is popular to focus on love and nothing else that goes beyond human ability to understand.  That's really sad for neither religion nor spiritual belief in la-la ville will do you any good.  Knowing what the Son of God said, repenting of sin and love are necessary for a living relationship with the Living Jesus.  Therefore, I think you could say that this is a blog of exhortation.

First of all do you know what repentance really involves?  It isn't complicated, but it reaches are far beyond your usual boundaries.  The reason being that repentance involves turning 180 degrees from the path you've been traveling.  What does that mean?

You can puff yourself up in indignation 
It means that the limits you've set for yourself are redrawn.  By repenting of sin and asking Jesus to come in and be Lord of your life you are bound by the law of love.  Guess what!  That yoke is easy and  doesn't mean you won't sin again, but that you want to do those things that please God, His Son and the Holy Spirit.  So yes, you are set free from the law, but no one is ever free from the consequences of their actions!  Wow!  Sobering, isn't it?  The reason is that while you have freedom to sin, you chose not to when temptation comes along; also that God has not changed his morality, but we are not bound to what the law says is our penalty is (death forever) but we will pay the consequences of our actions.  

Yep, there is always a consequence.  Some people pay for eternity.  Some just for this lifetime.  The choice is yours.  You may puff yourself up in indignation and you'll be full of hot air.  May I suggest you chose knowing God!
