True Repentance

God is calling new members into His spiritual Family. As our youth mature toward adulthood, and as new attendees become convicted of the truth that Scripture contains, the question arises, “What does God want me to do?” This is the attitude that we read of in Acts 2:37. All who will be in the ‘righteousness’ column will live lives that exemplify godly character. To be pleasing to God one must begin by repenting. But what is repentance? What does it look like? Am I in the state of repentance?
