The Process of Repentance (Revisited)

This post is not replacing the previous post on The Process of Repentance. The intention of this post is to rewrite the process as an alliteration. I was in Sunday School a few months ago and the teacher asked me to list the steps in the process of repentance. This was an easy question because I have it memorized. But as I was thinking I wondered if I could write the process with only words that start with 'R'. I found that I was able to do this. Here is the result:

1 Recognize - Recognition of sin
2 Regret - Sorrow for sin
3 Remove - Abandonment of sin
4 Report - Confession of sin
5 Restore - Restitution for sin
6 Replace - Obedience to all the commandments
7 Remit - Forgiveness for sin

The only thing that I want to touch on here is going back to my post on Remission. Remission is only brought about through baptism by proper authority. Baptism is symbolic of Christ and his atoning sacrifice. So, remission is a result of baptism and can only be brought about through Christ and his power. So you cannot complete the process of repentance without baptism. This ties back into step 6 - obedience to all of God's commandments.
