The reception of God's forgiveness is simple-repent and ask for mercy! Yet many or perhaps most people never experience this grace because they don't repent. True repentance begins where whitewashing ("nothing really happened") and blame shifting (It wasn't really my fault") and self-pity (I'm sorry because of what it has cost me") and self-flagellation ("I will feel so terrible no one will be able to criticize me") end.
-Tim Keller, Forgive
