God's Infinite Mercy
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret,
but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
We received this great quote from of our good friend, Shawn Young. It comes from a paper written by the Scottish Reformer John Colquhoun. His paper is titled, "The Difference Between True and False Repentance." If you're interested in reading the entire piece, let us know and we'll E-mail it to you.
"The evangelical penitent looks over the highest mountains that are raised before him--the greatness of his transgressions, the plagues of his heart, the temptations of Satan--to infinite mercy. There he will fly. In that he will hope, though his case seem ever so dark, and though every thing appear to turn against him. And the more lively his hope is, the more humbled and grieved he is for his iniquities, and the more vigorous his endeavours are after new obedience."
