And those who are repentent turn away from their sin.
I used to be an alcoholic, drug using, thieving (occasionally) lying sometimes, promiscuous slut.
Forty years ago, that is. I changed, repented, and begged God to forgive me. I haven’t been perfect since - had a few falldowns - was sorry, and changed even more seriously.
Of course I still sin - sometimes I get angry when I shouldn’t, find fault when I shouldn’t, eat too much, etc. But I don’t do what I used to do, thank God.
A lot of us have repented and changed. It doesn’t mean we’re perfect. And we never will be. It just means we acknowledge wrong doing and try to be better people.
