12-Step Program

Does God have a 12-step program for sin? Glad you asked.

Acts 3:19

Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

Luke 13:3

No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

Matthew 4:17

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Acts 17:30

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,

2 Chronicles 7:14

if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Matthew 3:8

Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.

Matthew 3:2

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Luke 5:32

I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Romans 2:4

Or do you presume on the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?o

Proverbs 28:13

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy

 

It works when applied. Give it some thought.
