Jesus Christ came to save sinners. That salvation was born out of compassion for a lost and dying world. We are all sinners. For those of us who know Christ and have accepted His gift by faith, we can easily feel confused and defeated when we continue to struggle with stubborn sinful patterns and habits. When people get stuck in this “revolving door” there is an enormous weight of guilt, shame, and condemnation that lead to torment, oppression and defeat.  Such sufferings are often very private and especially painful. When you add that burden of defeat to the immense weight of bondage, it’s crushing.

It’s time to get free.
Not another day has to go by wondering if this is what you’re life is going to be like.

Hearts that are genuinely turned toward God in repentance can easily be discouraged when the process of repentance is misunderstood and therefore malpracticed. After numerous yet failed attempts at lasting change, people can eventually succumb to living in sinful patterns they despise, from which they earnestly desire to be free.

Repentance is a gift. It’s a vital key to our victory in Christ, yet it has long been misunderstood. Repentance is not a shot-in-the-arm. It’s not a one-time prayer. And it’s not a trip to the altar on Sunday. Repentance is both a process and lifestyle that must be consistently learned and applied. When we understand the gift of repentance, we are able to cooperate with God and gain the victory He’s secured for us.

So what is repentance? And how do we walk in it effectively? What does that look like? Is a victorious life in Christ really possible? The answer is YES, and that is what this bible study is about. In this new study you will learn how to apply the keys of biblical repentance in your life so you can be victorious.

In this generation, Repentance may be the most misunderstood concept in Christianity, which is why Erin Pavlicek’s book is so timely and needed. Well written and easy-to-understand, “Effectual Repentance” is a book I recommend hardily. I write about tearing down strongholds all the time. So does Erin. You’ll benefit from what she has written.

Here is a thorough look into and through repentance. What is often a difficult and avoided step is explained, outlined, and undergirded with solid scriptural support. Repentance is thoroughly examined and employed in thoughtful and sensitive fashion. This study allowed me to step into the painful areas of my life and to find a loving God who longs to be near me and to take me ever closer to His heart. I can’t thank Erin enough for giving me the opportunity to discover so much of my Father’s love for me and for all of His children. Repentance is a cherished gift from God to us and He longs for us to receive it. Erin teaches us how. Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory.

It’s one thing to listen to a man or woman and their commentary on a subject. Erin receives revelation from the Spirit of God. This is not one woman’s opinion, I believe Erin hears from God and with the gift of writing He gave her, she is able to share His thoughts and His heart. You wont want to miss reading and studying “Effectual Repentance”. It could change the way you see yourself as well as others.

Be encouraged and refreshed as you learn how repentance is one of the Master’s most effective tools to personal renewal. You will learn how to step out of the ‘guilt’ entrapment and into His truth. ‘You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.’ John 8:32.

The bible study on repentance is full of love and grace, bringing people into freedom. This is a very good study for individual and group study. It’s laying a great foundation for those coming to the faith. It’s a great bible study with much depth and freedom.
