The sinning is the best part of repentance.

ANONYMOUS


It is a great deal easier to commit a second sin, than it was to commit the first; and a great deal harder to repent of a second, than it was to repent of the first.

BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE

Moral and Religious Aphorisms

JOHN DRYDEN

Palamon and Arcite

Tags: John Dryden


Moreover, true repentance never exists except in conjunction with faith, while on the other hand, wherever there is true faith, there is also real repentance. The two are but different aspects of the same turning--a turning away from sin in the direction of God.

In true repentance, wrought by the Holy Spirit through the application of divine truth to the mind and conscience, though there may be much fear, much of well-founded apprehension, and a painful sense of guilt and danger, yet there will be some intermingling of hope. The penitent himself may not always be very distinctly conscious of it, until he come more carefully to examine the state of his mind. He may at particular seasons be almost overwhelmed by distress and by apprehension; yet, in every true penitent there is a hope, a measure of hope, however at seasons faint and indistinct. And his hope is, that God, who has wounded him, will undertake to heal him; and that he shall soon be brought to experience the pardon of his sin, and adoption into the family of God.

JABEZ BUNTING

Sermons


The 'I', the 'self' of the child of God, is born in the midst of the ruins of repented idolatry.

JAMES ALISON

How can I forgive if you are not ready to give up that which caused you to stumble?

CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNI

Whatever we may be there are voices which call us to repentance; nature as well as our whole life is full of them, only our ears are heavy and will not hear.

FRIEDRICH WILHELM KRUMMACHER

The Suffering Saviour: Or, Meditations on the Last Days of Christ


Repentance is remedial work to mend our minds and hearts, which get bent by sin.

It is good for a man to repent of his sins; but better for him had he never sinned.

WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY

Proverbs

Tags: William Scott Downey


He that repents every day for the sins of every day, when he comes to die will have the sins but of one day to repent of; short reckonings make long friends.

PHILIP HENRY

attributed, Christian Dogmatics


What then? what rests?
Try what repentance can: what can it not?
Yet what can it when one cannot repent?
O wretched state! O bosom black as death!
O limed soul, that struggling to be free
Art more engag'd!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from inside. We hold that key within our hands, and agency is ours to use it.

Oh, the air is sultry and pregnant with lightning.
And therefore we call to our deluded brothers: Repent, repent, the Kingdom of the Lord is at hand!

Repentance is a change of mind, or a conversion from sin to God; not some one bare act of change, but a lasting, durable state of new life, which is called regeneration.
