45. How would we get to know that God has accepted our repentance?

Repentance is not a temporary act. A person keeps thinking about the mistake he made and this feeling of having made a mistake remains alive. Repentance is a continuous process. It is a completely unilateral act, because granting of forgiveness lies in the domain of God. When something is in God’s domain, man can never demand bilateralism.

Honest repentance stays in your heart your entire life and one always reflects on it. If a person considers that his repentance has been accepted fully but continues to lead life as before, he will make no reform in his lifestyle. It will not be true repentance. True repentance transforms an individual.
