The speakers in the video connect the speed of repentance with closeness to God. They don't explicitly state that the speed of forgiveness directly correlates to closeness to God, but they do say that quick repentance is an indicator of a closer relationship with God. This implies that a willingness to quickly forgive, which is often a component of repentance, would also suggest closeness. The exact quote is: "The quicker somebody repents is an indication of the closer they are to the Lord."
The video doesn't cite specific Bible verses directly related to the speed of forgiveness equating to closeness to God. The statement about quick repentance indicating closeness to God is a theological interpretation made by one of the speakers, drawing upon the overall themes of repentance and forgiveness in scripture. To find relevant verses, one would need to examine biblical passages about repentance, forgiveness, and the nature of a relationship with God. Some examples include:
Psalm 51: This psalm is a prayer of repentance, demonstrating a heartfelt desire for forgiveness and restoration of relationship with God. The speed of repentance is not explicitly mentioned, but the urgency of the repentance itself is a strong indicator.
Proverbs 28:13: "Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy." While not directly about speed, this verse shows the importance of confession and renunciation, elements crucial in the process of repentance and forgiveness.
1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." This verse highlights the process of confession and its result: forgiveness. The speed of confession isn't specified, but the availability of immediate forgiveness is clear.
Remember that the video's assertion is an interpretation, not a direct quote from scripture. These verses provide related biblical concepts.
