In this series, we’re discussing the stages of true repentance. After acknowledging your sin, experiencing true remorse, and putting a stop to your sin there is a final step – commit to obeying God.
In Nehemiah 10, out of Israel’s brokenness and remorse Israel decided to stop sinning, but they needed clarity and commitment to what that would mean. Israel decided to commit to obeying God.
Nehemiah 9:38 says, “In view of all this, we are making a binding agreement, putting it in writing, and our leaders, our Levites and our priests are affixing their seals to it.”
The people signed the covenant proclaiming how they were going to obey God’s commands. Their repentance led to a revival. If we desire revival to come, we first need to begin with repentance.
