<transcy>Repentance and 20th century man (Ô Dieu, pardonne-moi)</transcy>
Presentation
Conversion to God is a wonderful turnaround for sinful man. Thanks to the work of the Spirit of God in us, we turn away from sin and death, to unite with God and orient ourselves towards eternal life. We pass from darkness and the kingdom of Satan to the light and the kingdom of God.
But it doesn't stop there. Far from being the mere stage of a one-off experience, repentance is an attitude of life. It permeates and animates the totality of the believer's life. As we now lives every day "by faith", a child of God also experiences real and daily repentance.
What is repentance? Above all, what is true repentance, repentance according to the Bible? In pages steeped in pastoral warmth, the author examines this crucial ingredient of spiritual life. It shows how repentance breaks the walls of our lives to open them to the almighty power of the Spirit of God and envelop them in intimate fellowship with the God of all grace.
It shows how repentance occupies a preponderant place in spiritual strength, and therefore in healing and evangelism. No one can afford the luxury of going without!
