But when we repent (which can run the gamut from realizing we're wrong to being devastated by what we did), He forgives. And then He teaches us the right way.   All credit to Brian McLaren for saying God saves by judging, then forgiving and teaching. It is an ongoing dynamic relationship.   Love,   Caroline Sorry mamn, but the above is wrong.  Judas realized he was wrong, but he never repented.  Lots of people know when they are doing wrong and enjoy it.  True repentance comes from a contrite heart and results in turning from sin to God.
