Q&A Home > R > Repentance

I'm afraid of the end of the world or my life because I am afraid that God will not accept me at the end. It all depends on what I do now and now I am not doing right nor am I repentant over the wrong that I do. What is Your Grace's advice?

Repentance should be a daily activity. I suggest you get into the habit of examining yourself every night before going to bed. Pray the Agpeya; then take a few minutes to think about your day and what sins you committed on that day. Be honest with yourself and put your pride aside. Think about the cause of your sin and how you can avoid it next time. Repent and ask God for His forgiveness. Believe me, if you get into this habit you will feel the urge to go for confession as soon as possible to lift this burden off of your heart.

You cannot have inner peace if you do not have a close relationship with the Lord. Once you start living the life of repentance, you will not fear death or judgment. You should also have faith that our God is a merciful God Who wants all to be saved "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim 2:3-4).
