"Why Repentance is so Important will walk you scripture by scripture and illustrate that repentance is a condition that must be met before: your sins will be forgiven; you will receive God's blessings/promises; God will hear your prayers; and you will be delivered. Conversely, you will see that a failure to repent causes many people to suffer. As you read this book, you must keep in your remembrance that you must not say you repent just because you want God to forgive you, hear your prayers, bless you, or so you won't have to suffer; this is not true repentance. You should not be looking to get something in return. True repentance means you think differently. You think differently because you want to be in right-standing with God because you love Him, because you want to commune with Him, and because you want to carry out His plan for your life.
