Repentance

There is no salvation without repentance.


No impenitent sinner can believe with his
heart unto righteousness. Repentance is
described by Paul as a godly sorrow for
sin, that "worketh repentance to
salvation not to be repented of." This
repentance has in it nothing of the nature
of merit, but it prepares the heart for the
acceptance of Christ as the only Saviour,
the only hope of the lost sinner. {RH,
November 4, 1890 par. 2}
Repentance includes sorrow
for sin and a turning away from
it. We shall not renounce sin
unless we see its sinfulness;
until we turn away from it in
heart, there will be no real
change in the life. {SC 23.2}
repentance that God accepts is a
repentance that needs not to be
repented of,--a repentance
revealed by a radical change of
mind and heart. The heart must be
brought into subjection to Christ,
and a repentance that brings about
such a change can never originate
with man. {ST, March 18, 1903 par. 4}
Repentance represents the
process by which the soul
seeks to reflect the image of
Christ to the world. {ML
49.3}
Repentance is one of the first-fruits of saving
grace. Repentance includes sorrow for sin, and
a turning away from it. We shall not renounce
sin until we see its sinfulness; until we turn
away from it in heart, there will be no real
change in the life. Repentance is the only
process by which infinite purity reflects the
image of Christ in His redeemed subjects. {ST,
June 28, 1905 par. 1}
