The sorrow of the world produces death
lets look at our text from last week
Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works
Some bible example of this is
Dead works are
All religious activity that is done to cover sin.
For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
For all of us have become like one who is unclean,

Man’s religious activity lifts him up in Pharisaical pride. Repentance realizes one’s own bankruptcy of righteousness and turns solely to God.
lets look at some bible example of dead works
Judas
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself!”

False repentance will appear in 4 ways
1. A sense of guilt and remorse over the pain.
2. Regret for the consequences rather than the sin.
3. Strong fears of hell rather than conviction of sin.
4. Penitence where one atones for his sins through suffering.
There is a sorrow that does not lead to repentance.
True repentance turns from dead works.

2. All works of the flesh.

a. God’s goodness cause one to repent.
Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

b. The reign of grace comes as one turns from his sin.
