Saying "I'm sorry" has become something people just flip off their wrist like it doesn't matter.
So NO. Saying "I'm sorry" isn't enough.
The two graphics below help to describe and illuminate what Repentance is.
Repentance doesn't mean falling on your face and groveling and "oh dear Holy One, please please please forgive the wrongs I've done". It's not dramatic, it's not romanticized..
It's a true knowledge of the heart that we've messed up, and that we need to talk to our Creator about it.
Yes, He already knows what we did, and He knows that we'll do more in the future.
But the heart of repentance is the heart of God. Knowing that when we mess up, He will forgive us if we bring those sins to Him, and do our best to not repeat what we've promised to stop.
