Receiving pardon requires a decision not to return to the same sin. He who accepts Christ’s powerful word, and repents in sorrow, receives divine power, and can overcome evil with God’s help. Christ does not ask the impossible from us, but gives us the Spirit for that power may overcome our bodily temptations and our pet hates.
Anayekubali neno la Kristo lenye nguvu maishani mwake, naye akikiri makosa yake kwa huzuni, basi pamoja na msamaha anapokea nguvu tukufu, ili ashinde maovu kwa msaada wa Mungu. Kristo hatazamii kwetu jambo lisilowezekana, lakini anatujalia Roho yake, maana nguvu yake inaweza kushinda majaribu yetu ya kimwili pamoja na kukasirika kwetu.
