Marg West The scripture in 2 Peter 3:9 says that "He (GOD) wishes that none would perish but that all would come to repentance." (Repentance means to feel sincere sorrow for your sins.) It is only when we come to this place in our lives that we can receive Salvation (New Birth, Converted, Converted, or Born Again) these are all the same experience. We don't have to wait until we are good enough, because if we were good enough we wouldn't have any need for Salvation. GOD says in His Word Matthew 19:17, "There is none good but one, that is GOD." SO it is impossible for us to clean up our act enough to have GOD accept us. He just wants us to need Him in our ljves the way we are. When we are'sincere and we desire a change in our lifestyle and habits, GOD will accept us and cause those thing's iti our lives that need changing for the good to change.
