- 1
Bethinking: Or remembering all the good things God has done for you and for others (1 Kings 8:46-48; Romans 2:4; Luke 15:16-20).
- 2
Asking: That is, asking for the gift of repentance, that is a heart that feels about things the way God does (Luke 24:45-48; Acts 5:31; Psalm 68:18; John 16:24; Matthew 7:7-8; Ezekiel 36:26).
- 3
Sorrow & Joy: God then gifts us with true sorrow for sin, the sin itself (2 Corinthians 7:10). He then ads to our sorrow a joy for right doing, for righteousness sake (John 16:20-22; Jeremiah 31:13).
- 4
Hatred & Love: God takes it a step further by giving us a hatred, even an abhorrence of sin and evil where ever it presents itself (Romans 12:9; Job 42:6; Luke 14:26; Revelation 2:6). Then He adds to that a love for what He loves. Of course Love - the principle of giving what is needed most, puts us on a solid emotional foundation (John 3:16; Jeremiah 31:3; John 13:1; 1 John 4:19).
- 5
Turning: It is so much easier to make the choice to turn away from sin and toward God in heart and life, when you feel about things the way God does. (Isaiah 55:6-9; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Hosea 4:11; Proverbs 8:13; Ezekiel 18:31).
