If I do not please, I cannot seduce. If I do not seduce, I cannot influence. If I do not influence, I repent.
You don’t apologize to be forgiven. You apologize to repent. Forgiveness is a gift given from the other person.
There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance.
All must repent or perish.
