Untitled Sermon

Man is born with his back toward God. When he truly repents, he turns right around and faces God. Repentance is a change of mind…. Repentance is the tear in the eye of faith.

Dwight L. Moody

Repentance will not make you see Christ, but to see Christ will give you repentance.

Charles Spurgeon

Those that profess repentance must practise it.

Matthew Henry

Let us beware of a repentance without evidence.

J. C. Ryle

One of the most fundamental marks of true repentance is a disposition to see our sins as God sees them.

Charles Simeon

Fair-weather repentance might save us many a cloudy day.

Havner, Vance

Conviction is not repentance. It is one thing to be awakened at five o’clock in the morning, but it is another thing to get up.

9588 Repentance is an attitude rather than a single act.

Richard Owen Roberts

Repentance is an ongoing process. One must be forever repentant. It is not enough to once feel sorrow over sin. True repentance affects the whole man and alters the entire life style.

Richard Owen Roberts

9582 Like the father of the Prodigal Son, God can see repentance coming a great way off and is there to meet it, the repentance is the reconciliation.

Dorothy L. Sayers

You cannot drive repentance out of the teaching of Christ without destroying his teaching utterly and entirely.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

When we truly comprehend our own nature, repentance is no dry doctrine, no frightening message, no morbid form of self-flagellation. It is, as the early church fathers said, a gift God grants which leads to life.

Charles Colson

9594 Repentance is the process by which we see ourselves, day by day, as we really are: sinful, needy, dependent people. It is the process by which we see God as he is: awesome, majestic, and holy.

Charles Colson

Repentance means to think again about God and yourself and the relationship between you; but the first call is to think again about God.

The Sons of God, 44

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

9601 The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart; but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.

John Bunyan

There is more to repentance than apologizing to God. (i.e., godly grief vs worldly grief)

John Blanchard
