The Path to Repentance: Seeking forgiveness immediately after major sin.
If the righteous commit a grave sin or wrong themselves, they immediately remember God and seek forgiveness, knowing only God forgives sins. Repent without delay. When you fall into error, do not allow time for guilt to fester. Immediately remember God's vastness and seek sincere, restorative forgiveness.
