One woman shared how repentance leads to true freedom. The young lady mentioned that instead of cowering and hiding from the Lord when we sin and fall short, run to him and ask for forgiveness. Watch the short clip to hear what she says about getting freedom from sin and shame.

The world is a lost and broken place full of hurting and struggling people. Everyone is a sinner; all have fallen short of God's glory. The Bible is very clear on this point. We all need the Lord’s grace, mercy and forgiveness.

Turning to the Lord and asking Him for forgiveness brings new life, making those in Christ new creations. His love and forgiveness release people from sin and shame, bringing true freedom.  Sadly, many people look anywhere and everywhere else to ease their pain and suffering, but there is only one answer. There is only one place to turn to achieve true forgiveness and to be freed from one’s past.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one of the women with Girls Gone Bible illustrates her point of finding freedom in Him by using Adam and Eve’s fall in the garden. That should have led them both to turn toward God instead of hiding from Him. He would have freed them from their sin and shame. Instead, they were afraid and knew full well that they had disobeyed. But God was still hoping they would confess and repent of their sins.

“We aren’t supposed to run from God when we do wrong,” she said. “We run to Him. That’s the whole point of repentance; is we don’t need to be in shame and run. We need to run to Him and get and get on our knees and say, ‘I am sorry’ and own up to what we did. And that’s where the freedom comes. That’s when you are free. The truth will always set you free. You can’t run from God and He knows everything.”

What powerful and true words about Him, who is quick and faithful to forgive sins.

1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
