GOSPEL CONNECTION

Repentance is understanding the gravity of our sin and having the desire, given by the Holy Spirit’s work in our life, to not continue sinning. “I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. 10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.” (2 Corinthians 7:9-10)
