According to biblical teachings, our understanding of our true selves is limited and incomplete. If we were able to see ourselves as God sees us, it could be overwhelming and potentially destructive. Some may argue that this is a convenient excuse, but the ability to shield ourselves from our own flaws also enables us to unfairly judge others. Our inherent flaws make us biased and incapable of truly reflecting on ourselves. Instead, we are encouraged to acknowledge our limitations and seek repentance for our tendency to judge ourselves without considering our own faults. The Bible cautions against the harmful cycle of excusing our own actions while condemning others, which distorts our perception of reality. To overcome this, we are called to invite Christ into our lives to lead us towards genuine self-acceptance.Merely repenting of one's sins is insufficient to overcome the sinful nature, as stated in the Bible. The true transformation can only be achieved through the influence of the Spirit. Without the presence of Christ's Spirit, one cannot truly be considered a follower of Him. Repentance, for believers, entails a shift in mindset and a willingness to internalize the teachings of Christ. This change in perspective cannot be accomplished independently; it requires guidance from Christ's teachings and empowerment from the Spirit. The Bible emphasizes that admitting our sins leads to forgiveness from God, while denying our sinful behavior only leads to self-deception. In examining the concept of confession and forgiveness, we must avoid two extremes. It is incorrect to assert that confession alone leads to forgiveness, just as it is misguided to believe that admitting our sins automatically absolves us of wrongdoing. Ultimately, the acceptance of our repentance is determined by God through the principle of Justification by faith. Thus, true repentance requires a deep understanding of our own flaws and a recognition of the inherent nature of sin. It entails immersing oneself in the grace and mercy of God while acknowledging our inability to redeem ourselves. Simply confessing sins is insufficient and can lead to a legalistic approach to repentance.
