I’m Sorry?

A Study Of 2 Corinthians 7:11

The 7 marks of repentance.

Apologies today often seem more like a strategy to avoid consequences than a genuine expression of remorse and a commitment to change. Too frequently, we say "I'm sorry" not because we truly regret our actions, but because we want to avoid trouble. In reality, an apology only holds weight when it’s backed by sincere repentance. When we acknowledge the harm we’ve caused, our apology should reflect genuine remorse, a recognition of the consequences, and a sincere desire to do better. The question is, are we truly sorry for what we’ve done, or are we merely trying to escape the repercussions of our actions?
