Even though I have sinned, I feel no shame. This is because I do not recognize that I have sinned. U am so insensitive to sin that I am in a very serious spiritual state.
Unless the bitter root of sin is uprooted, no matter how much I cut off the tree or the bud, the bud and tree will inevitably grow again.
Reform without internal change and obedience to the Word is nothing more than a flashy display of external rituals.
Without repentance for disobedience to the Word, I cannot change.
I lack the ability to repent.
I confess that only when God grants me the ability to repent can I repent of my sins.
(From reading Pastor Kim Ui-won's "Covenant Theology and the Development of Revelation")
