I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. [Luke 15:7]
This 'same way' refers to the Lost Sheep which Jesus was sharing on. Might I ask you a simple question: how did the sheep repent?
"Baa"
I doubt that the sheep fell on its knees and was crying bitterly. It knew no better! All that it did was to let the shepherd carry it.
Repentance is this: reliance on Christ. Letting Jesus take your problems and take you and bring you into abundant life.
So rest in Jesus. Let Him do all the work. Trust Him for all the grace that you need; the supply that you ever need. That's repentance, as Jesus defined it!
