It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an \u003cem\u003eunrepenting\u003c\/em\u003e person, God would not grant it. \u003cem\u003eThe Lord God, compassionate and merciful, . . . who keeps faithfulness for thousands, . . . will by no means leave the guilty unpunished\u003c\/em\u003e (Exodus 34:6-7). Though God is more full of mercy than the sun is of light, still He will not forgive a sinner who willfully continues to sin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe have, by sin, wronged God\u003c\/strong\u003e. We have eclipsed his honor. We have infringed upon his law, and we should, reasonably, repent of our old ways. By repentance, we humble and judge ourselves for sin. We agree that God would be righteous if he destroyed us, and so we give glory to God and do what we can to repair his honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDying to sin is the life of repentance\u003c\/strong\u003e. The very day a Christian turns from sin, he must require of himself a perpetual fast. The eye must fast from impure glances. The ear must fast from listening to slander. The tongue must fast from cursing. The hands must fast from bribes. The feet must fast from unclean paths. And the soul must fast from the love of wickedness. This turning away from sin implies a noticeable change in the lives of those who truly follow Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTherefore let us, while we are on this side of the grave, make our peace with God!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aneko Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798889362463","brand":"Aneko Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43025032642675,"sku":"9.79889E+12","price":20.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_841979fc-a13c-439f-9b20-05cfdc9acb29.jpg?v=1745932551","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-doctrine-of-repentance-a-closer-look-at-this-essential-element-of-true-christianity-9798889362463","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
