       Certainly, when a person becomes a Christian, accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior, this turning from sin is a necessary thing that needs to be done in order to gain acceptance from God. That’s how Jesus becomes Lord in the person’s life. Therefore, there are then two kinds of repentance. There is the initial repentance that occurs when we first become a Christian, and then there is the ongoing, recurring repentance that occurs from time to time in the Christian’s life. Some of this is daily, and some of it comes as we identify new areas where we can eliminate sin from our lives. None of us are perfect right now, and we truly never will be perfect in this life. That is why the Christian life is one of constant growth, because as we go along we notice better ways to live, thus adopting a better way of living and eliminating sin in the process.
