September 14 :: Proverbs 19-21; 2 Corinthians 7

On Repentance:

2 Corinthians 7:8-10

Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.



“Repentance is the way to deal with the next thing that God would change in you… How willing we are to repent reveals our sincerity in following Christ.”
