Life Changing Quote - Enlarging Our Repentance

"We need to realize that while God's acceptance of each Christian believer is perfect from the start, our repentance always needs to be extended further as long as we are in this world.
Repentance means turning from as much as you know of your sin - to give as much as you know of yourself - to as much as you know of your God, and as our knowledge grows at these three points so our practice of repentance has to be enlarged."  J.I. Packer, Keep In Step With The Spirit, pg 87

Luther said all of life is repentance. We repent from as much as we know of our sin, and we always underestimate our own sin because of our fallenness. So we have to grow in repentance as we realize our sinfulness. Then we give as much as we know of our-self, again that is a process, we should constantly growing in a knowledge of our-selves. Then we give as much as know of our sin and as much as we know of our-self to as much as we know of our God. This makes growing in our knowledge of God critical. The greater we know God the greater we know our-self the greater we know of our sin. This means our practice of repentance will constantly be growing. Digest that! Amazing!
