Systems provide us with a structure for making decisions and acting in order to achieve a desired outcome. Feedback loops within a system act to stabilize or destabilize a system. A negative feedback loop in a system stabilizes an environment so the desired outcome can be reached more reliably. The Bible provides us with a system by which we can live our lives. By applying the negative feedback loop of repentance in the system of living a Christian life, we can overcome sin, and reach the desired outcome of eternal life.
