maor shaer asked 5 years ago
shalom rabbi alon anava                                                                                                                                                                                              My name is maor and im a jew that is making repentance and the only thing that gives me the deep drive to one day become very religious is all the rewards i could get in this life and the next..                                                                                                                                                     I know you should be very close to g-d out of love only.. but to me the reward is stronger then love in order for me to become very religious..       So my question is will g-d accept my full repentance if i do it for mostly the reward?

Shalom,

All true teshuva is accepted if its sincere.

The lower form of teshuva is for reward
and the higher form which is most desirable is without desire for a reward.
