"Repent. Ask forgiveness of those we have wronged (God and/or others). Seek to make it right. Pretty much exactly what Christians must do when they sin."

Scripture and verse that says this will atone???

Scripture and verse that says this will atone???

I gave one example in my #2123 above:

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Psalm 51:17)

A 'broken and contrite heart' is an 'acceptable sacrifice'. Asking forgiveness is part of repenting. Making right what we have done wrong (providing restitution if we have stolen something, for example) is justice (see about 'justice' in Proverbs 21:3). Besides, we wouldn't exactly have a 'broken and contrite heart' if we kept our ill-gotten gains, would we?
