The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Psalms 34:18 KJV
Psalms 34:18 KJV
You're broken in heart when you're truly sorry for your actions and it breaks your heart to do it again.
The penitent heart does not insist on doing what does not please the Lord. The Lord is near them and saves them.
One of the thieves on the cross is a vivid example. While one was still justifying his actions the other was sorry for his actions. He was saved.
Salvation is by grace but not grace to sin. It is grace to do the right thing as it pleases the Lord.
