Luke 4:8-9

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken.

Naalala nyo si Peter when he took the Lord on his boat and they went to the deeper water? Hindi pa nya kilala masyado ang Lord, ang alam lang nya ay nagtuturo at nagmi-miracle siya. Pero nang kinonfront si Peter ng Lord face to face, na-realize nya kung sino ang kaharap nya. Nagpatirapa siya at sinabi, “Leave me, Lord, I am a sinful man” meaning “I do not deserve to be in the same boat with you.” He felt so unworthy.

So the moment we commit sin, we ponder God’s holiness. And if we look at his holiness from an enlightened point of view, then we will be repentant. I don’t mean casually confessing like this: “Lord, as usual, nagkasala na naman ako. Alam mo naman, talagang ganyan lang ang buhay. Sorry ha?” O kaya bago tayo matulog, nag-pray tayo ng “Lord, forgive me for all my sins. Hindi ko na maalala lahat, but you know them all. I’m sorry, Good night.” Nasaan ang repentant heart mo? You treated sin very lightly. Confession is done in a mechanical manner so there is no forgiveness. Don’t be deceived.

We must repent first. Study, evaluate and ponder the holiness of God. The only correct thing that will happen to us next is to feel sorry—yun bang may kasamang hiya at panliliit. That’s the only way to react to the holiness of God.
