“GENUINE REPENTANCE”..
"Genuine" REPENTANCE is not God "getting you to PAY for your sins", but "to learn the lessons that keep the curse associated with those transgressions" from manifesting in your life!
If you've MISSED IT, "repent quickly", so that "God can take TIME out of the equation", and immediately restore everything that has been lost of stolen; even through your own negligence, ignorance or disobedience!
You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways. When they cast you down, and you say, 'Exaltation will come! ' Then He will save the humble person. He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands." (Job 22:28-30 NKJV)
COMMENTARY..
A good man is a public good. Sinners fare the better for saints, whether they are aware of it or no. If Eliphaz intended hereby (as some think he did) to insinuate that Job's prayers were not prevailing, nor his hands pure (for then he would have relieved others, much more himself), he was afterwards made to see his error, when it appeared that Job had a better interest in heaven than he had; for he and his three friends, who in this matter were not innocent, were delivered by the pureness of Job's hands, in chapter 42 verse 8.
THIS is how we should see CHRIST working on our behalf, "when we repent"!
Our guilt, is NOT ignored, it is corrected - as we align with the "finished work", through repentance!
TIME is taken-out of the equation, because "the kingdom has come"!
You don't have to "pay for your sins", simply acknowledge your transgression, get GOD's MIND on what HE wills for you in that particular situation, and then APPROPRIATE (or draw down) from HIS unmerited favor (GRACE) and HIS undeserved kindness (MERCY) - and let HIM restore, one day at a time!
IT'S AMAZING how people judge your process, when they really DON'T have God's Mind, or KNOW YOURS! WS-3
