John 19:31-37 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special
Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the
Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The
soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with
Jesus, and then those of the other.33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was
already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus side
with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given
testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that
you also may believe.

Not one of his bones will be broken,37 and, as another scripture says, They will look
on the one they have pierced
The fact that Christ died in your place for all your iniquities and sins is good news, Jesus
Christ death was not vain but it was to purchase you back and reconcile you back to a
holy God by his Blood have you been redeemed, saved and brought back from the dead,
now you can have life in the Name of Jesus Christ.
As there say do not let a good opportunity go to waste but I say do not let the death of
Jesus be in vain its as if Jesus the Son of God worked for nothing, died for nothing and
bled for nothing if you continue in your sins of sexual immorality, pornography,
homosexuality, greed, corruptness and keep breaking the the command, decrees and laws
of God.
And if you are ready to answer the call of God to repentance, God is happy to welcome
you back into His Kingdom
Isaiah 30:15-This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: In
repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you
would have none of it.
Hosea 14:1 [ Repentance to Bring Blessing ] Return, Israel, to the LORD your God. Your
sins have been your downfall!

2 Corinthians 7:9-yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because
your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so
were not harmed in any way by us.
2 Corinthians 7:10
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow
brings death
For the non-believer, repentance can be confusing regarding salvation and what happens when
Recognition of Sin
"For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only,
have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight" (Psalm 51:3-4).
When you realize you are a sinner and you see your need for a Savior, you'll then come to
the point of recognizing your sin.
This is to confess your sin to God and ask for forgiveness. To recognize and confess your
sin is to do what David did in Psalm 51: admit that you sinned against God and agree
with Him that you are guilty.
In addition to recognizing your sin, you are to also recognize the remedy for it the
cross of Jesus Christ.
Resentment of Sin
"O you who love the Lord, hate evil!" (Psalm 97:10a).
The reproach of sin creates a resentment of sin. This is a righteous reaction to the
wickedness of sin and its negative effects. True hatred for sin in repentance is a sure sign
that godly grief has occurred, for the natural person does not hate sin, but loves it.
Some may hate certain sins, but those who repent hate their own sin because they see
what their sin did to the Savior and what it does to them. In order to love the Lord, you
must first loathe your sin. The hatred of sin is found in loving the Savior.
"Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree. Look
up to the cross, and you will kill sin, for the strength of Jesus' love will make you strong
to put down your tendencies to sin." Charles Spurgeon
Psalm 51
Repeat this prayer with Genuine Heart, Let the Lord Know you are ready to be Saved

according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
