Subject: Are these essentials for Salvation? |
Bible Note: True repentance does not stop with sorrow. True repentance is not just sorrow for sin; it may begin with sorrow but it ends in obedience. Sorrow without obedience is not repentance. No matter how much one grieves at being “wretched”, if there is only sorrow but no follow-up with obedience, their repentance is false. Out of all the quotes you cited, Spurgeon’s reflects Biblical repentance; that is, to “show...earnest grieve By doing so no more.” |
