Repentance is needed even from religious notions. When Christ came, he gave us the ability to know him personally so we really could obtain and keep salvation. Idols are something that are not God, but that selfish minded people worship because the idol will not hold them accountable to truth. People often treat God as if he were just a stone statue, or like another person. They think that their relationship with God can be like it is with an idol or person: "out of sight, out of mind"; that God is not omnipotent or all seeing and knowing.
Many times people don't have the mindset, or respect that, THIS is the Almighty God. When you really see God as he is, you will fall on your knees before Him. "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:"Isa 55:6 No one can come to God unless God first draws him, and we have that personal interview with God. We cannot choose the time to do whatever God shows us to do. There cannot be any conditions or reasoning's with it; we just need to be fully repentant and willing. God sets the time, and expects us to respond. We need to remember that God's ways and thoughts are not our ways, and to be willing to go God's way. - "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways saith the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isa 55:8-9
- "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8
When we have been drifting away from what God wants us to do, and become aware of that distance, we must not wait to earnestly seek God. If he sees true heart sincerity, he will then draw nigh to us.
