Matthew 27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value.
On this point of Judas hanging himself, let us understand this one thing, that the true repentance that comes from God has never ever led any person to commit suicide. No, not one, throughout the entire history of this earth. When a person accepts the gift of repentance it will always lead to life, because Christ came to give us life much more abundantly.
The final point in understanding in how to repent is the fact that true repentance does not, as a general rule produce repeat offenders, for when one is truly sorry for doing something, they would try to avoid repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Especially is this the case, when God’s enabling power is granted to all who believe.
There is a sin that’s not unto death, and even though persons may slip up at times, yet, godly repentance always puts persons on a general upward trajectory. After Peter and the other disciples repented of their sins, there was a dramatic, and a marked change in their deportment, mannerisms, and words.
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
