If Repentance Were a Mile-Long Journey, Asking for Forgiveness Would Only be the First StepAccording to Hebrews 6:1-3, repentance is one of the most elementary doctrines of the church, yet as a pastor, I am often surprised by how little people seem to know about real repentance. I have heard people say, "so-and-so has repented", because they went forward to ask for forgiveness, but they have not had time to repent. As you will see from in this study booklet, real repentance often takes time. Christians often confuse the issues of asking for forgiveness with repentance. The proof that we have not repented lies in the fact that we repeatedly ask God for forgiveness while continuing to do what we have acknowledged as being wrong in the first place.
