THE BIBLE SAYS:
NOTE:
A godly sorrow is a sorrow for the act – a repenting and turning away from sin. A worldly sorrow regrets the results of sin, rather than the sin
itself. True repentance reflects a change of mind and is accompanied by reformation, which is a corresponding change of life.
25. What will true repentance lead us to do with our past, sinful way of life? Romans 6:6, 16
THE BIBLE SAYS:
NOTE:
By God’s help we will crucify the sinful habits we once cherished. True repentance will also cause us to make restitution for our wrongs (such as
paying back stolen goods) where we can. Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14

THE BIBLE SAYS:
27.
How does God lead us to repentance? Romans 2:4
THE BIBLE SAYS:
NOTE:
Christ is the source of every right impulse. We can no more repent without the Spirit of Christ working upon the heart than we can receive
forgiveness without Him. It is the Holy Spirit impressing upon our minds the sacrifice of Christ, the mystery of redemption, and the goodness of
God that leads us to repentance.
It is the incomprehensible love of God for a rebellious race that melts the stubborn heart and fills the sinner with remorse for the pain that his
rebellion has cost heaven. When we look at the dying Saviour, we behold a love that is beyond our feeble comprehension, and we are filled with
loathing for the sins that caused His death. Without this enmity for sin, there can be no true turning away from it, and thus no repentance.
